I added the resistors and diode clamps to the schematic last evening and took an inordinate amount of time getting a pleasant looking layout on the schematic. I think good schematics are like good code perhaps both should be pretty to look at 😊. With the three power rails properly current limited I think the diodes should prevent the Arduino from being damaged. Now I am wondering how to detect a pin not going high impedance. Though I suppose if the chip were in that state odds are it would not function properly otherwise and since I'm testing one chip at a time I don't have to worry about bus contention causing problems.
