90 degree is not quite what I thought of, because I intended an analog-Bus system
(see picture)

It depends on what is best for the layout.
Could you please post your brd-file as a base for making a decision ?

What about the digital interface for the LEDs and switches. Would it be
advantageous to add these signals to the bus-system ?
It would give the possibility to design other cards, that can easily be connected
to the bus, like a LC-Display unit with keyboard, or a memory card for
storing EEG-data offline, etc.

In my Microsim Ev 8 is also a restriction for the number of OP-Amps and transistors.
This was the reason why I have modelled the amplifier input stage
with voltage controlled voltage sources (however this is less accurate,
because it is a very idealized form of an OP-amp) .

> Did you ever try to add parts ?

No. I have only seen, that this is possible with ABM-Blocks. But I do not
have any documentation, how to implement a model.

Joerg
