Re: PCI board outline

[tony@burched.com.au (burched - tony burch)]

Duncan,

I'd just like to second Henry's suggestion.
The Protel 99SE Board Wizard generates a correct
outline, edge connector, mounting holes and
track and component keepouts as defined
by the PCI spec.  It was easy to use - it
will generate outlines for short or long
cards, 5V, 3.3V or universal - the wizard
gives you the options.

Just this week I plugged in a PCI card that
was designed using Protel 99SE.  No problems,
very happy.

I have no affiliation with Protel.  I just use
their products.

Best regards
