Re: [PEDA] schematic lib ?

I would concur with exactly what Peter has stated. Do two schematic symbols as close to identical for pin locations as is possible. Quite often on a BGA packaged part, there may be a few additional pins used anyway (additional gnds or pwrs, right)? Sincerely, Brad Velander. Lead PCB Designer

Dez, since your problem is actually with Win XP Home, have you tried to talk to Microsoft? Yeah I know, maybe an hour on the phone just to be shunted around or told it is the applications problem, but somewhere, sometime, Microsoft has got to be made responsible for their junk.
