Maybe I&#8217;ll try and do a DXF of it or something. While measuring it I came across a couple unexpected (for me) things which lead me to believe that it was hand-designed way back when. For example, the overall footprint seems to be 2:1 width:height ratio (1.86&#8243; x .93&#8243;), and the pins have a .14&#8243; spacing between each other, with the pins forming <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Equilateral_triangle\">equilateral triangles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(And yes, I will be CC licensing this footprint once I&#8217;ve tuned it to fit all the SIO connector variants that I can find.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not wanting to sit in traffic I decided to stay at work late and poke around with the Atari SIO connectors from an Okidata printer&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/01\/30\/atari-sio-connector-footprint-in-cadsoft-eagle\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Atari SIO Connector Footprint in CadSoft EAGLE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-electronics","category-making-things","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1137"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1305,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1137\/revisions\/1305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
