I want to make schematics of my projects, but I thought it would be cool to do it mid '90s style on a Mac. I'd prefer to use one app for both schematic and PCB design. Does anyone here have any recommendations?

I’d do something like that on either a CAD or drawing program; Illustrator seems overkill, but perhaps one that produces those cool flowcharts? I might be off, but I’m sure one such organ of that time would be good enough? But not PowerPoint, maybe ClarisWorks? I always liked SuperPaint, but that was raster :( ClarisDraw was capable enough, but you’d need some good templates for that one!

I know of MacBreadboard. It might be not enough, but does that count?

I'm in the process of looking through the 1,000 or more apps on MG, but I am hoping to find an app designed for electronics schematics and PCB design like EAGLE and kicad. I am going to try Electronics Workbench when I get home.

This one might be suitable: Epoxy

The first DL on that page is for Mac OSs 8.1 and above.

I haven't used this software, though its page description makes for further investigation.

Thanks, Jatoba! I'll check that out.

Awesome find MTT! Thank you. Mac OS 8 is fine. I have 7.6.1 and 8.6 on it :) I'll try that one also.
