KiCAD 6 plugins for Amiga development
I use DipTrace, some others use Eagle or Altium.
With KiCad6 out, its become comparable to the best hobbyist software.  So standardising on it seems an obvious choice. With DipTrace I'm able to import Matze's Eagle component libraries. To import to DipTrace, I use the Altium import wizard, export in Altium ASCII and then import that to DipTrace. It works quite well. Same with Eagle format. It would be nice to have KiCad "Plugin Content Manager" Amiga extensions. Specifically Libraries of components. I've created a GitHub repository with a suitable name: https://github.com/AmigaComputerSchool/KiCad If no one else does it then I'll give it a go.  But I'm new to KiCad and don't yet know how the component libraries work. So if someone competent is interested then let me know  Whoever does it, this will be of benefit to us all towards reviving Amiga as a new kind of Home Computer. A Home BUILT Computer

Are you looking for KiCAD symbol libraries of Amiga-specific components (like custom chips) ?

If it has already been done.
Otherwise i have a set to convert. Maybe there are extra components which i don't already have. |

Many Amigas have already been recreated in kicad. You can get symbols and footprints from those projects. Just make sure to acknowledge the source.
