PCB's I've designed which can be shared

Theoretically you can put as many midi out's on there as there are buffers, YMMV. This PCB was made so you can either cut the top or bottom midi port off. The reasoning for this is the different layout of ISA and PCI cards, which reverse the orientation of the port due to the PCB's being reversed.

Why throughole? It's easier to work with and it's what I had available.
