Tango Plus for DOS

[Don]

Hi all,

I desperately need to purchase Tango-PCB+ for DOS, complete with key
"dongle." This is for a young startup company. Of course, this
software is quite obsolete, but still capable of turning out some
decent boards with a little effort.

I will eventually be upgrading to Altium P-CAD, but I am starting on a
limited budget and simply cannot afford the $10K for P-CAD up front.
I have been with the Tango/Altium platform from the beginning and much
prefer it to OrCAD or other platforms I've tried.

If anyone has upgraded from this software program and no longer needs
it, please contact me with price and details.

Thanks for your time,

Don

If you don't have existing board designs you need to work on, I'd suggest
you look at Eagle.

BTW: PCAD stands for "Press Control Alt Delete"

Try doing a web search on it. I don't remember seeing Tango, but several
people were selling old versions of Orcad on Ebay.

I highly recommend AutoTrax or EasyTrax by Protel, now free:

Out of all the DOS programs that people consider "obsolete",
CAD software is anything but. Still highly useful and easy to use.
And unless you are doing something terribly big or complicated,
it works very well.

The problem is that compatibility with some DOS programs is being broken by M$.

Boot from a floppy. May need a secondary HD or partition formatted
for DOS as it won't be able to read the FAT32 partition.

Or make a dual-boot system, with Win98 and WinXP (if you're a windows user).

That's what I did (I still use Tango). Its nice to have Win environment at hand (Tango
will work in Win98) to possibly open pdf files, check the net etc. You can't do that in DOS.

So? Just run dual boot. Thats how I run Tango SCH and PCB on both an
Athlon 1800+ and a 3200+. Check other threads for video cards that are
VESA compatible.

Just something I remembered, if you want to make a double boot machine with win98,
installation and opration sometimes freezes if you have a DVD drive.
So you may need to disable it in bios. Took me a lot of time to figure this out.
