Amiga USB Floppy Disk Reader

This is a PCB I've designed to work with the marvelous idea, firmware and software from Rob Smith: https://github.com/RobSmithDev/ArduinoFloppyDiskReader
It's nothing fancy but has some benefits I think that do matter:
- integrated real FTDI232RL for communication and AVR flashing
- Decent DC/DC converter that can handle up to 5V/1A and wide input voltage (7-36V). This is the more power friendly way, as some drives demand more than the max. 500mA USB delivers
- Switchable to USB power if desired
- ATMega 328p on board with Optiboot
- Solderpads for 4-pin Molex 3.5" connector with routed VCC. So if the drive needs 12V you can use a 12V power source
Of course this is only a fun project and does not aim to be the best solution for Rob's approach, but it made my life easier.
This is the first release, as the PCB's have to be tested. I'm currently waiting for the prototypes.
