RE: PCB making, a novel idea

["Jon Whiten" <jon@xxxxxxx>]

At the first computer fair (PC type) that I went to in Nottingham many
years
ago I saw a demo of a home-brew plotter that made a pcb from bare copper
clad board by milling away the excess copper to leave only the tracks and
then drill all the required holes.  The thing was hanging off the back of a
rubber-keyed ZX Spectrum!

Thought for years that we should have one of these fro work.

Regards,

Jon
