Protel to bundle NeuroCad routers

October 3, 1995 - Santa Clara, California

Protel Technology, Inc. (800-544-4186) has entered into an agreement with
NeuroCad, Inc. of Harvard, MA to bundle the NeuroCad family of
"Intelligent Autorouters" with Protel's Windows PCB layout tools.

Protel will offer NeuroCad's routing systems to new and existing Advanced
PCB customers. A special version of NeuroCad's NR 25, 50, 100, 200 and 300
routers has been developed. These version read-in the Protel PCB database,
perform routing, and export the routed result back to Protel. Protel has
delivered over 8,100 Advanced PCB design systems since the product was
introduced in 1991.

NeuroCad routers have been developed to compete directly with premium,
shape-based routing technology which now dominates the add-in PCB router
market. These PC-based routers run on Windows and Windows NT and the
company claims that they route between 50% and 500% faster than
competitive products, depending upon the design size and platform.
Similarly, the company claims that by using articificial intelligence,
these routers achieve 100% completion on a wider variety of designs, while
producing superior route quality.

NeuroCad routers start at $995 for a 2-layer/1500 pad system that supports
multiple power planes. Unlimited layer/database versions start at $2995.
Options include "Sketch-a-Track" interactive routing, test point
generation and rules driven routing for high speed logic.
