Hi CheshireNoir,

I just thought I'd mention that I wanted to make a MegaCart that included all three of the VTech Diagnostics, now that Diagnostic C has been recovered and shared.

In doing this, I made some revisions to your MegaCart PCB, and have forked your repository so that my revisions are linked (I guess you would've received a fork notification?).

All changes are documented in the README, retaining your original descriptions and CC BY-SA licensing.

All KiCAD source and gerbers are shared, along with adding .pdf schematic and .png PCB render (for those without KiCAD installed).

My cartridge is built, and all appears to be working great!

Hopefully my revisions are of some help to you / somebody? (Still not MK II compatible, but we didn't have Mk II in our country).
