Title: .pcb file conversion into gerber help - 5 BTC
Post by: mimarob on July 31, 2012, 03:12:53 PM
Hi guys.

I want to make some pcb's from an old drawing. Unfortunately the file I have is an old .pcb file, probably Tango, Protel or Cadint but I am not certain.

The file starts with "PCB 3.0 Binary File" and then goes on with unreadable binary chars.

If you happen to have the right cad program available I want the top and bottom layers, soldermask, silkscreen and drill file as gerbers.

You can download it here: http://www.qsl.net/bg1ceo/Tech_topic/Application/VGA_AD_9887/AD9887_A.pcb

There is a rough picture of what it should look like on the project page:: http://www.qsl.net/bg1ceo/Tech_topic/Application/VGA_AD_9887/AD9887.htm


If you don't feel like sending me the whole file(s) before payment, you could perhaps delete half the board or convert to bitmap and pour some electronic ink over part of it :-)

5 BTC to the first sucessful attempt!

N.B. This is not a pcb related to anything bitcoin mining, its a video circuit that I want to play around with, but it seems the page owners email is out-of-date. I'm convinced that the idea was to make this project public domain.

I can't get what you're wanting because I don't have the software required but I can tell you it's a Protel Advanced PCB 3 file.

This might help you, I'm not sure.

got the pcb's from seeed, they looked ok, although the silkscreen was a bit off. No worries.
