pcb makers

[Michael C]

Does anybody know of pcb makers that will do one off's for a reasonable
price? (preferably so I can order over the net.)
Also what software would I need to design the layouts?

Two places I use

1) Sesame Electronics - nothing flash, about hobbyist level (although on
occasion I have received superb PCBs from them) I suggest min 0.75mm Track w
0.5mm Spacing - a bit rough but good enough for most bar the more complex
prototypes and very reasonable pricing.

2) Printed Electronics - Superb work -they would manage 0.25mm Tracks
(although the minimum I go to is 0.5mm which they do with ease) however they
do cost quite a bit more (around $300 odd for an A4 panel - 1 off if memory
serves).

http://www.printedelectronics.com/ Cant find the details to contact Mike
Lynch who makes the PCBs but they usually have an ad in the back of Silicon
chip

Also what software would I need to design the layouts?

try protel Autotrax - the DOS version is free and I have it running under
W2K with no probs ....

This link leads to ASPEN AMPLIFIERS. Is that correct for PCB manufacturer?
