Development of a transputer ISA board

The development of my ISA board for transputer boards.

It looked good, and from some tutorials in Youtube I heard about a very easy path from schematic to printed circuit board, so I exported the netlist, solved some bugs, and then invoked the PCB program. My memories went through the mist of times, when the only software available was Ultiboard and it was priced at $5,000 USD, later Orcad PCB with a slow and terrible autorouter, and now I had my board completed thanks to the effort of countless people. What I didn't expected was that dropping the Gerber files zipped into the PCBWay webpage basically gets you an immediate quote, my card was charged, and ten minutes later the PCB was being manufactured in Shenzhen, China.
