Hi
Much to my surprise, it turns out there are two (at least) kinds of DIN-8 connectors with differing footprints. I used the one from Sergey's Omega MSX DIN-8 footprint in the new Media IO board for MSX compatible RGB video. However, by far the more common DIN-8 connector (full sized, not the mini-DIN) has a different footprint.

Does anyone have the other DIN-8 footprint for KiCAD or know of a project which uses it? Maybe a C-64 clone or something similar? I suppose I can start from scratch but if one has already been built I would prefer to use it instead.

Thanks, Andrew Lynch
