Bob,  

The DFM paper I gave you in 2005 is still mostly relevant today. You mention
I gave you a PDF. I will gladly send you the Word doc master copy,
originally created by "Merix Corporation" and given to the IPC Designers
Council as a starter document that hopefully would be updated and
recirculated. I updated and reformatted the original in 2006 for Wind River,
but they no longer do hardware design so my edits stopped there. You just
need to update the master with your latest technology. Let me know if you
want the master copy and I'll pass it along.

Bob,
You should touch base with the big boy CMs.
Celestial and Samina both have excellent docs on the subject.
Of course you need to use the grain of salt method as they are very "our
way" orientated.
Have fun,
FNK
