I'm looking for PCIe x1 footprints, both card and motherboard sides.

Ethan Swint posted PCIe x4 footprints to this list in February 2009,
my current plan is to reduce these down to PCIe x1.
Has anyone used Ethan's footprints ? It'd be nice to know if they've
been fabbed and loaded successfully, or if anyone has improved them in
some way.

BTW thanks for posting the x4 footprints Ethan!
You're welcome! I used the x4 footprints successfully where I bevelled the card edges with a flat file. Not gold plated, but they worked well enough. I might have made a change to the footprint after posting to include the outline - I have two versions of the footprint on the card edge connector, but I don't remember which one I ultimately used. The MX... is the Molex part number.
