<li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/stripboarddesigner/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">StripBoard Designer</a> &#8211;  Design your electronic circuits on stripboards. StripBoard Designer makes it easy to break strips, jump wires and place components on stripboards. You can even draw your own components and save them in a library for reuse.<br />
<a href="http://www.printedcircuitsboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stripboard-designer.jpg"><img src="http://www.printedcircuitsboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stripboard-designer-300x225.jpg" alt="stripboard designer" title="stripboard designer" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-89" /></a>

<li><a href="http://www.heyrick.co.uk/software/verodes/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">VeroDes</a> &#8211; is an easy-to-use design program for those wishing to design circuits on veroboard, also known as stripboard. With VeroDes you can: create veroboard circuit designs with ease! Board sizes up to 70 holes by 70 tracks can easily be accomodated, view both sides of your circuit; with links, breaks, and component pins clearly marked in either view, print the circuit in a variety of ways and you can create your own components, up to 25 pins by 25 pins.<br />
