Crazy PS2 to PC USB hub I want to make.

Alright, I just started designing via bitmap the layouts for the boards I'll be making for this.  I designed this starting with the concept of this plugging straight into the motherboard via the USB connector on it.  As you can see I designed the core board to take one ATMEGA and a secondary board connecting vertically from this.  I'm planning on using photo resist/ferro-chloride printing onto copper boards (used this technique before in a jewelery class of all places). Next part I'm trying to figure out is if the memory card board is going to need its own ATMEGA or if I can run both functions off the same micro controller. Then I'll just need to map out how these will connect and which parts to use where for the best data transferrance and run the programming proper.  I can also resize parts as I go and have designed this with taking into account adding rails for sliding it in as a drive slot of 5.25 inches. I even personally designed the font I'm using on this board for added fun.  If you like the font I'll provide the link for usage for any board printers out there.  I also thought if the original PS2 has the right stuff in its assembly for the parts needed on my project I'll use those original parts if they haven't been affected by the burn out.  Please tell me what you think of my start here.

I apologize for my delay between updates on this project but I do have a "day job" and am a very busy guy.  Also if you think you can help me in the mapping of the boards with your ideas feel free to give me a sample using this BMP and I'll try and refine it as part of the design.  I'll even credit you for the work in a readme when I release the final version of this file to the E14 boards here along with the video on the finished product.

EDIT: I've been going over my design against an ATMEGA328 Pinout and I'm noticing that the attaching the boards at the sides may not be the best idea, would appreciate some assistance in figuring out where I'm going to place the ATMEGA in reference so I can ensure that both the memory card's set up works in conjunction with the controller pin out.  This still is my very first board design concept so I would appreciate some accurate construct ideals, Even if I have to somehow cross transfers for the controllers between the two boards to map it out I figure the "pin towers" in various areas will also give the ending construct some further stability that I didn't see carry out in the original hub I had.  So hopefully once this is fully mapped out with each resistor and transistor thought out I can print it out and everything.  I'm choosing out my solder mask and everything.  There should be no question of whether it will work or not once I'm done.  I hope that someone else will comment on this soon with some help on my concept designs. Like I said before I do fully intend on posting the final designs and video of this hub construct in action.  Even work on filming the final construction of the hub.  Please people, I would like your input, even if its map out links to similar hubs using an ATMEGA that have been posted on here in the past.  Those should help me with my measurements.
