   To my knowledge, there is no PD PCB layout software for the Mac. VAMP and 
   Douglas CAD still have packages for the Mac, I think, but they are 
   expensive.

I haven't downloaded it yet, but this is on LISTSERV@ricevm1.vm.edu:

   Here are the sources and binaries for a PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
   Cad for the Macintosh. It was written by Randy Nevin and published
   in Dr. Dobb's last year. The Macintosh version was ported by myself
   and in it's current state resembles the DOS version. I've used ThinkC 4.0
   on a Mac Plus, but It should run on other models.
   I've mailed the following note to people who contacted me wishing
   to change the code, but since I didn't have time to make the changes
   myself I encourage others to do so.

   The only thing I ask is that, if you change the functionality
   of the code, keep me informed, so I can include the changes in
   future releases. by the way, this is version 1.0

To get it, send mail to LISTSERV@ricevm1.ride.edu containing the line:

   $MACARCH GET app/pcb-cad.hqx

If that doesn't work, don't call me!
