I'm really surprised, I would have thought Unix(1) would be one of the ideal fields for EDA tools
I mean tools with the purpose of facilitating the design of schematics for electronic circuits and their conversion to PCBs tools
however I can't find the equivalent of Eagle CAD
here, on my boring peeeeeceeeeee, I am experienced with
they are commercial applications, closed source expensive (Altium Design >> EagleCad) Applications
and they but do not run on Irix (perhaps under the win95 emulator, who knows, btw it would be insane
)
this list reports open source alternatives
never used before (with the exception of gtkwave), I am going to give a try to the following
in order to understand if we'd better port to & use them on our IRIX boxes
last not least, there is a project called kicad , I can't emerge it easily, I will try downloading the pre built package
in case, I do absolutely not know how difficult would be to port it to IRIX
(1) { IRIX,HPUX,AIX }

-
Altium Design
, used by ACME System Engineering, etc, Non-free, >5000 USD – Altium Designer has excellent user feedback (I confirm it as "user"), in my opinion, if one is looking for professional suite to work with and can handle the price tag, then Altium may be the best option
EagleCAD , used by Sparkfun, Adafruit Industries, DangerousPrototypes, etc, Free with limitations, upgrades from 150 - 1700 USD, Eagle is a powerhouse in the hobbyist world and comes the most community support, but has some quirks (woes, great sorrow or distress with CAM integration, and handling more than 2 layers) that led me to choose a different suite.

I wish I could enter into the
vegetable garden
of
William Gibson
, on the right of a director, to decide how a film is ultimately released for public viewing, but I am not a nor
Cyberpunk writer
neither a dude in
Hollywood
, and my English still looks like an old rusty trailer which needs a fix-up, so my personal
wonderland
begins with a pill ... tumbling down the
rabbit hole
, where the sky above the router port is the color of television, tuned to a dead channel and some gears still need a debugger there.
