Troubleshooting Joypad for MSX
I've been working on designing "troubleshooting" keyboards for various computers - it is difficult to work on some vintage computer motherboards when you need to use the keyboard as the keyboard can be unwieldy. This simple joypad design is an extension of that - something that can be used for troubleshooting or testing joystick interfaces, and is small enough that it is cheap to get fabricated.
This particular design is for MSX computers.
Is it designed to either use a DE9 solder-cup female soldered to the edge or a cabled DE9 plug soldered to the numbered pins along the bottom.
To add a bit of bulk to it you can attach a second PCB using M3 screws and spaces.
