Thanks Icky and yes that would be a good idea.

If you could share the library for the connector too that would be great, as I'll pinch it if I may :D

Got the proto board wired up and my OCD kicked in with all the untidy wires,

The board worked fine but I'm jumping straight to Eagle for the rest as it's so much easier to visualise what you are doing.

Could someone please verify something for me please.

I am using the eagle library for the cart port and just checking the actual pinout of the port.

Is it top from left to right 1 - 20
bottom from left to right 21 - 40.

I'm sure it is but I am number dyslexic which tends to cause me to double check everything.
