I'll second Tom's favorable opinion of 99SE, and add my own comments. I don't find the 99SE database annoying, my main concern with it is I wonder if the DDB files will be readable in the future by any non-Microsoft database tool. That could be a problem, if DDB files are never documented or

I wasn't going to stick my neck out but...What works for us is to have a common PCB footprint (We use the same as Mira and others) and then we create a unique schematic part for each part# we use. The pins of the schematic part are mapped to the generic pad numbering in the layout footprint. While

[PEDA] Strange emails from the DXP forum

I'm cross-posting this because I'm not getting any emails from DXP, and I know many are subscribed to both lists. I sent an email a few minutes ago regarding an email that purported to come from the DXP list, saying that my email server (AOL) was bouncing emails and they were putting a hold on
