Slightly off-topic, but as I'm playing with it with a view of using it for my next 6502 related PCB it's not that far off...

Anyway, when printing out a PCB layout, does anyone know a way of getting rid of the gray background it always prints? Or is that ExpressPCB's way of ensuring PCB layouts designed using their software can only practically be made by them? i.e. no printing off to tranparencies and making your own......

Cheers!

Yes, I believe that is their way of preventing the making of transparencies. I've used their software quite a bit and I have found it easy to use. I only wish they would add an auto-router to their layout software.

Daryl

Now how did that happen???? Sorry for the duplicate message.

Thanks Daryl. I thought that was the case.

Looks like it's back to EasyPC-WIN, shame really as although Easy-PC is much more powerful (built in auto-router is a waste of space) it's schematics don't look anything like as nice as ExpressSCH's when printed out. At least I've not found an option to turn off the cross hairs at connection points which woul improve them no-end....

Slight aside - can you still supply pre-programmed ATMega8's for your composite video display board?

Cheers
George

Yes, I still have plenty of ATMega8's. I'm gonna discount the price down to $10, including postage in the US.

Let me know if you want one?

Daryl

Cool. No PCBs though I guess?....

I'll contact you through your web-site...

Thanks!
George

Gray is easy to get ride of.

Print each layer in black and white. Voiila!
