hey Robert-
thanks for the reply..
ok.. so i can delete the CD2 (card select) trace I have there.. (as its NC)
I have it as follows:
SD: CIRCUIT:
PIN 1/DAT2 NC
PIN 2/CS PIN2/A1 on buffer
PIN 3/DATA IN PIN3/A2 on buffer
PIN 4/VDD 3.3v (after cap)
PIN 5/SCLK PIN4/A3 on buffer
PIN 6/VSS GND line
PIN 7/DATA OUT PIN5/A4 on buffer (already going to buffer.. no telling what devices may be hooked up to the board in the end)
PIN 8/DAT1 NC
CD1 NC
CD2 NC <------ removing this one (originally had it going to GND)
MT1 GND
MT2 GND
thanks for the second pair of eyes..
