I am getting my 6-layer version of Eagle CAD tomorrow, so I can trace everything in. Once we have this, we can figure out the missing parts on the back of the ROM card (12MB Flash RAM for everyone for a few bucks!), and we can even make new ROM cards with better chips (4 ROMs in one, reflash your firmware, adding features...).
