[vcf-midatlantic] Schematic work needed

[systems_glitch]

IMO, it's not worthwhile to try and reproduce the Lego control box at this
point. They're readily available online, often for less than the parts
would cost, and even if you did copy the circuit board, you're still left
with the enclosure and the proprietary 4.5V connectors. The interface
boards are definitely worth at least having schematics for, being as how
they're a) quite rare and b) STUPID expensive online.

Thanks,
Jonathan
