What's so special about retrocomputing that makes it more tractable for autorouting? Autorouting isn't a thing in industry for PCB design because managing EMI for modern ICs is so challenging. Is retrocomputing able to get away with it due to slow rise times on very old chips?
- phendrenad2 3y agoExactly, EMC is only really an issue above 50MHz, much higher than most retrocomputers were capable of.
- bogantech 3y agoThe issue is not the frequency of your signals but the edge rate.
- phendrenad2 3y agoThat's... not entirely true actually.
