It may not be appropriate to bring up the old thread, but since I have the same problem of trying to squeeze some more life out of my Tango packages (PCB/SCH). Tango in full screen 1280x1024 works well on Win98 and with some EMM had no problem handling all of my projects. As maintaining a Win98 PC is getting inefficient, I want to shift Tango to an XP system and for that purpose set up a virtual machine with VMware (WIN98 as guest OS to run Tango). BUT: I could not get it to run anything else than 640x480, which is clearly insufficient. The Tango-VESA drivers that work on WIN98 don't get along with the SVGA installation VMtools offer. Does anyone know how to convice Tango in a VMware environment to run 1280x1024??

Best regards, Andreas.

My school lab has a version of Tango PCB/Schematic on the computers which the professor encourages us to just save it to our thumb drives. The problem is, they have no documentation for it and only can pass instruction by word of mouth. I'd like to be able to take it home and mess around with it but need at least a manual or tutorial. Does anyone have links to information about the software or even pdf's of the manual? I'm keeping an eye on auction sites for the software to come up and hope that their is a manual to go with it, but it's looking grim.

Does anyone have any advice? I'm not aware of any dongle. As far as I know, this software is in more than one lab and I haven't seen anything sticking out of the computer that isn't the usual. To clarify if we have the same version, the one in the lab is run in DOS, not in Windows and is quite old. Abandonware is the impression I got from the professor. Yes, the software looks easy enough to run for those experienced with this type of software but this is my first time with anything like this and really would benefit from a manual to read from.

All three produce very authentic and usable bass sounds, with very different characters, but the DI blend really adds to the tonal range, and allows even the smallest cab to be given an extra helping of warm bass if it needs it. The Rocker is a model of a typical 4 x 12 cabinet, for a harder, more present sound, while the tiny Odd Bird is actually a 1 x 12 design, chosen simply because the guys at Softube happened to think it sounded nice! This is an 8 x 10 cabinet that combines good definition with an impressive depth of bass.

If I can get a physical manual, I wouldn't mind putting some effort into scanning it as a pdf for my class mates and anyone who still uses this software. If anyone is out there who has Tango and the manuals but doesn't use the software, send me a pm and I'll try to direct a couple of dollars towards your way for the benefit of all engineers and engineering students. Perhaps so - I have a licensed copy of Tango PCB Plus that requires a dongle to run. By the way, I can't get it to run under XP. I have another computer running 98 that does support Tango.

The program has its own video and printer drivers that do not play well with XP. It can get to be a challenge finding a display card that works in any worthwhile reso, too. The output is for old DOS printers, or no-longer supported HP printers. The output is in HPPL. You need something like a Laserjet 4 or an older Lexmark to print.

My dodge is to send the.pcb files to my XP computer and use the Circad'98 demo to read the files. I can convert to image formats, or actually print the files to a modern printer. It's a kludge, but saves thousands of dollars.

Aug 27, 2018 - Please visit the main page of Tango PCB on Software Informer. Write a review about this program. Best remote desktop tools for Windows. I am running Tango Pcb on linux LXLE dosbox V0.74. It works 100%. Can make Gerber plots and read them with Gerbview 7 that runs on windows 7. My old Tango produce gerber files in RS274D (separate aperture file needed for the old system.) With Gerbview 7.
