Re: gEDA-user: problem



not quite! but we are looking into 6 layer boards for PC applications, running at a few hundred MHz.
I am worried about signal reflections from such large height vias.
Thanks

Ummm, are you sure you need to use buried vias? Most PCB fab houses
don't support them; they are used on super-dense, high-tech boards,
and you pay mucho extra $$$ to get them. They are not used on
entry-level to mid-level boards.

If you *are* using PCB to design a 20 layer OC-192 router board with
10Gig diff co-planar waveguides and 622Mbps parallel busses, then
bully for you! Let us know how it goes!
