[Coco] need a mini 6551 RS-232 pak layout

[Roger Taylor]

It looks nice but you didn't allow for the diamter of the router bit 
used by ExpressPCB to cut the board.  If cut along your board 
perimeter it would leave the edge connector width too short and there 
would be alignment problems.

I just downloaded DipTrace 1.50 and it looks nice but I don't see a 
way to import or export to ExpressPCB schematics or layouts, and the 
board service appears to be a forwarding service by the DipTrace 
website to the company of your choice, but I could have read the site 
instructions wrong.  Probably not a wise choice for my projects.
