Bishop Graphics also has a schematic package to go along with their
pcb drafting package. I played with it for a 1/2 hour, seems to work,
but that is about all I know about it. Personally I use MacDraw
which is much easier to draft with ... although I will never get net
lists out of draw in any easy manner. Both Vamp and Bishop are working on
an autorouter to connect the schematic and pcb editors.

As for Pcb editors...

I use the Bishop pcb package which I like better than the Vamp stuff.
Both tax a mac doing 2800 lead 68020/68881 + memory and I/O 4 layer board,
the Vamp package was much too slow for that sized board (I stopped my test
before it got more than 800 pins guessing that the performace would continue
to get much worse). The Bishop package is still slow, but we use large
custom cells (about 5" X 5" regions) which edit very fast and lay them down
on the master window like tiles. The vamp package is certainly cheaper,
my friend here says the tech support is much harder to reach, but he
still likes his vamp package and makes boards from it regularly from a plotter.

A little competition is a good thing ...
