Wanna see some 1970s PCB CAD?

(1/1)

Alex Eisenhut:


I like this stuff, I want all PCB software to bloop and beep like that!

Applicon Bravo. They used storage tubes
We also had CalMa cad systems for IC layout. driven by a Nova 2600 computer with a VAX77/90 as backbone to run spice. 1989...

Applicon mechanical cad lives on as Pro/engineer. ( PTC bought them . )

free_electron:
this one shows digitizing and also IC layout on the Applicon



they did all of this with 64k of ram... we can't even make bootloaders that fit in that anymore.
