You can't "create" HSTX pins anywhere, they are fixed in hardware and are non-defineable. You can, with some risk, parallel them to other pins but it's not recommended due to the very high frequencies involved. You might get away with it, you might not. There's no need to do it anyway. We have a standard connection for VGA on the PicoMite, adding alternatives introduces software compatibility issues with PicoMite software which are best avoided.

As we are designing a socket adapter, not a VGA output, the 220R series resistors are fixed and there is no direct access to the HSTX pins.
