DigiKey now has some stock https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ATMEGA32U4-AUR/ATMEGA32U4-AURCT-ND/3440960
Which is good as some of the brokers have started to take the piss :D https://www.win-source.net/hot-sales-and-eol-components-atmega32u4-au.html

As the TQFP Atmega32U4 is unavailable(but there are some qfn around, hope they'll be left when I submit my next order :-DD) , I have _started_ copying @xyphros https://github.com/xyphro/UsbGpib schematic into Kicad and started with a layout. I think I need to redo it and put the MCU on the back side as the routing of the GPIB connector is a mess....
I attached the KiCAD 6 project, will try and get around to improving it soon, but not tonight anymore :=\
PioB:
Oh i just saw, I forgot to connect the VBus Pin of the MCU to 5 V... I quickly rectified that, not that the routing is any more beautiful now...
File added
USB-GPIB adapter copied from xyphro's schematic, for the QFN Atmega32U4, a 6x3.5 mm Crystal and Wuerth MicroUSB.
If anyone has any hints for improving the layout, I'm all ears :)
I added the step files for the USB connector and the GPIB connector to the zip, they need to be added to the footprint, as I have saved and linked them locally in my 3d model directory...
Venturi962:
Thanks for the head start, reworked VBus, caps and some signal lines.
Edit: Made some more updates.
Hardware Notes:
* Schematic has 100nF Caps for the Crystal, original has 22pF
* Switched to more common Crystal size
* Prefer through-hole pin headers as opposed to SMD
Gribo:
You might want to add some ESD protection diodes on the USB lines.
The QFN pad could use a symmetrical via arrangement. You don't want voids when soldering it.
Edit: The VBus trace should be thicker.
