Routers

[Paul Schreiber]

The small one, with no fancy add-ons is about $4,000.

However, the next release of PCAD 2000 *includes* a full-tilt-boogie
shape-based router.

I have about $9,000 invested in my SPECCTRA router, but I use it for digital
stuff. No MOTM
at all. I will say this: the last release (Version 9) routed a little 8051
board with about 400 individual
connections in 17 *SECONDS*. On a P400 w/384MB RAM.
