Ouch. When I was your age, and at that level of technology, I war doing one-sided layout, routing only the power and very few short traces. Then I copied that layout to a bare copper layer by transfering prefabricated lines from a transparent sheet to the copper. Most connections were later added with wires, the kind of wire used in transformers, I do not know how it is called in English. The insulation melts while soldering it. That was 25 years ago. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
