Homebrew PCBs

Homebrew PCBs doesn't always mean hobbiest!  

I often "homebrew" or "lab brew" a PCB when I don't
want to wait for one to come back from a board shop.  I homebrewed a board yesterday afternoon that
was 7 mil traces and 5 mil spaces. A 48 pin TSOP flash rom to DIP adapter for my programmer. It took
under an hour from Protel design to etched and drilled board.

later,
Larry E.

  Hi Randy,

  I agree, it's nice.  Got the CD (demo).  But it's not Homebrew! 
  (meaning I don't know of ANY hobbyists buying it).

Has everyone checked out protel 99se? www.protel.com It is an 8000 dollar software package but you can download the evaluation version which does EVERYTHING the real version does except that it does it for only 30 days. I downloaded the evaluation version and have fallen in love with it! :) It does schematic capture, simulation (XSPICE), and PCB (autoroute). If your graphics adapter is OpenGL compatible you can render your circuit board. This thing is sweet!
