i know there was one made, that o/s 8 supported, but can't recall who.
somewhere in my magazine stack is an ad for it, but theres just too many to
go through at present. If I come across it, i will surely let you know.
in the meantime, i will also do a Sherlock search and reply later this week
if I find something.

Here are four I found by searching my ECAD list at
http://www.terrypin.dial.pipex.com/ECADList.html

Not sure how up to date, but should be easy for you to find out.

ELECTRIC
Static Free Software
http://www.staticfreesoft.com/

Free download. "The Electric source code distribution contains code
written in C, which can be compiled and run on UNIX (all variants),
Macintosh (system 7 or 8), and Windows (9x/NT/2000). In addition, the
distribution includes the user's manual (in HTML) and supporting data
files (libraries, samples, etc.)" Looks a bit tricky to set up on
Windows? Full Windows version approx. 175USD

====================
EXPERT PCB
Sage Eda
http://www.sage-eda.com/

"ExpertPCB II for MacOS costs 1695USD per seat. A competitive upgrade
is available for 995USD." Limited demo version.

====================
MacSPICE 3f5
Charles D.H. Williams
http://newton.ex.ac.uk/teaching/CDHW/MacSpice/

Freeware. PowerMac (Classic and OS X) unlimited implementation of
Spice 3f5, with many enhancements and bugs fixed. No schematic
capture. Console interface (command completion, working front-end
interpreter, etc.). Very low memory leakage (good for optimisation)
and some of the latest models." On-line manual and tutorials.
====================

OSMOND PPC
J C Chavez (France)
http://www.swcp.com/~jchavez/osmond.html

Free MAC PCB CAD/CAM software.

"The latest release is Version 0.99b2, built January 14, 2001...
During the public beta testing period, I am providing current versions
of the Osmond PCB application and documentation for the adventurous on
a free trial basis. The application is fully functional and not
crippled in any way."

Eagle (http://www.cadsoft.de) have an OS X version:

"The new EAGLE beta version 4.12r01 is now available for download.
This is the first version to support Mac OS X (with X11).

Please see the announcement in news://news.cadsoft.de/eagle.betatest.

Initial reports seem pretty good.

HTH,
