OK... I _KNOW_ this has probably been asked 1.5 zillion times, but I don't
recall seeing it in any kind of FAQ list... =)
Does anybody know of any FTPable printed circuit board (PCB) routing
programs for the Mac? I found one today on 'sumex-aim.stanford.edu', which
is a pretty much DIRECT port from an IBM version. (Read: Yecchhh!)
Although it is better than nothing, I would REALLY like a more Mac-inized
program. I don't have any problem with the way the program - "PCB Cad" -
currently handles input files - I can key them like that, and I like its
ability to have "include" files for common ICs, and it's easy to add your
own. But I _would_ like a better viewing program, and obviously a print
program that supported PostScript!! ;-)
Also, one that supports "edge connectors" - so cards that plug into slots
can be easily implemented. I assume in "PCB Cad" the only thing I can do
is define "holes" where I need the connections, and manually extend them
to the desired format.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! If there's interest, I will
post a summary to c.s.m.apps.
