Ladies and Gents,

  I've uploaded the schematics for GorF, and explained some of the  
extra bits on there ;-

  I've also designed and ordered a prototype PCB for GorF ;-

  As much as I like Eagle, I find the the 100mm by 80mm board size  
limit really annoying. And yes there's the "non profit" version which  
gives 160mm by 100mm and whilst that would be fine for GorF the other  
projects I'm working on require a board length of around 240mm by  
100mm. and I certainly can't afford the 1200UKP for the full version  
of the software. It's a crying shame there's nothing in between the  
160mm and 'anysize' limits, in terms of cost (The standard version  
only offers 160mm by 100mm board size limit).

So this board is a little on the 'cramped' side of life. Can anyone  
recommend any other PCB tools that aren't silly money or have silly  
board size limits?

Paul
