KiCad is pretty useful for documenting pinouts, even if no actual circuitry is involved.

Here I have documented how the Warp Speed light pen for the IBM PC is connected, and how I wired up the Tandy 1000 adapter for it. Also the PCjr light pen header, because why not.

I'll just export this to PDF and include it with everything when I upload it to archive.org.

@gloriouscow have you seen wireviz? This has been amazingly helpful to me.

@petrillic I had not! I will save this, it looks cool. Maybe some use for it in my book.

Since this is only four wires I don't think it's worth re-doing...
