No they did use some commercial tool (Mentor PADS?) where there isn't
even a free(-beer) version to open the files.

And, they never published schematics and board files in any raw and editable
format. Just PDF...

Finally, this is an offer to use it. If nobody wants to use it, we could also remove
it from the server :)
