ATX to PCjr Power Adapter Board

I've just finished designing an adapter board to allow you to power an IBM PCjr with an ATX PSU. I'm a fan of releasing early and often so here is the board design. I haven't received production boards yet but I hand etched on an it worked.
Comments
The IBM PCjr uses a 18VAC external power supply that is regulated by an internal power board. I got a PCjr without the external PSU and they sell for ~$60 on ebay. This is an adapter board to use a standard ATX PSU for a modern PC with a PCjr. It's really simple, but it's cheaper than buying a real PSU.
