Keyboard socket template

I'm trying to add a PS/2 socket, like the one on the protoboard, to my PCB. I know alot of people have used a socket like this, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction of where to get the EAGLE library template for this component. I know this isn't an EAGLE forum, but like I said, so many people have interfaced this with the propeller and made their own PCB's, just like I'm doing.
So, where can I find the EAGLE PCB template for this 7 pin socket?

It's a 6 pin mini din, not 7.
I think that library comes standard with with Eagle. if it's not there, you can download it from
cadsoftusa.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?page=/home/cadsoft/html_public/download.htm.en&dir=eagle/userfiles/libraries
you have to move the file to your "lbr" folder and then inside of Eagle you have to "Library", then "Use..." before that library will show up to pick a component from.

The mini_din in that library is the best part. There actually is another mini din6 hidden away in the yamaichi parts of the standard eagle library, but the problem with that part is the 3 tabs to hold the socket in place don't come with solder around them. So use the mini-din from that library mentioned by partsman73 because it will be mechanically stronger too.
Coincidentally, on searching through the yamaichi parts I did find an SD card layout. It appears to be surface mount. See if it will do what you want.

The basic socket has 8 pins and 2 pins are omitted for the 6 pin one, hence the presence of pin 8.
The above doc. includes the footprint details, if you want to check the Eagle ones.

1. Mini-DIN socket part number PRT-08509... $0.95 USD ea., in-stock.
2. microSD Socket part number PRT-00127... $3.95 USD ea. (ouch), out of stock.
3. SD/MMC Socket part number PRT-00136... $3.95 USD ea. (ouch again), out of stock.
For the out of stock items, you can download the manufacturer's data sheet from the Sparkfun page. That may allow you to find it elsewhere.
Good Luck, David

1=data, 3=0V, 5=5V and 6=clock
2 and 8 are not connected
4 and 7 are not on the part.
I rolled my own, I did not find any pre-made libraries for the socket I wanted to use. It's surface mount, I don't know if I've ever seen an SD socket that wasn't SMD. PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy if you'd like.

Now for a new question - Can't the keyboard object be used with a USB keyboard by replacing the DIN socket with just a USB socket? I mean, there are no electronics in the USB to PS/2 adapter(I think), so isn't it just a matter of pins? USB is still 0V, 5V, CLOCK, DATA... Right?
