Hi

Back in the distant past, I remember the fun I had using the Pineapple software PCB design package on my BBC B. It was pretty basic but quick and easy to use for most projects. I think it was on 5 1/4" floppy disk. I'll have to check. I still have all of my BBC setup in the loft and have been meaning to revisit it. Trouble is there are so many other projects on the go. Time is the problem these days.

Interesting to note Mark's mention of a ROM image. I guess this would involve burning to EPROM and using one of the sideways RAM sockets.

Regards,
Symon
