What I would like to find is a tool that puts up a bunch of footprints with internal IC
functions
shown, then a way to rapidly enter the buzzed out interconnections, generating a
netlist.
This is exactly backwards workflow from normal schematic entry and pcb layout.
I suspect I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and write it..
Hmmm, you
COULD actually use a schematic tool to do this!
Maybe create the components to look like DIPs. I know I
could do this in Protel 99 without a great deal of trouble.
Then, just draw in all the wires.
I suspect a few other good schematic entry tools could also
do this.
