It's certainly easier and likely neater to use the real thing, if you
have it.  But if you want to "roll your" own, I already published my
distribution board layout and the RQDXn pinout, and later today I'll
put the M9058 RQDX distribution board layout and circuit, and the
circuit diagram for the Write-Protect/Ready switch panel up as well.
