Looks promising, but I don't see any contact info on their site ?
The customer is outside this country. Of course in Upstate NY we do not
really consider someone from Toronto as being from a foreign country (their
just across the lake). The board shop that produced the part is gone as I
mentioned and the original supplier had discontinued the part and will no
longer supply it (I called them).
The company is a re-seller of networking equipment and needs the board for
some of the older hardware that they have.
Thank you all for the help. This is a new customer with a one time request
(well you never know). They got my name from a customer that I had done
several flex circuits and a couple rev. eng jobs. But, being a one man show
I don't think the ROI on this is sufficient for me to pursue any further.
Thanks again for you input.

The equipment is a little pricey for a one-off job, but if this is a
consistent source of work you might look at:
http://www.whingate.co.uk/reveng_pg1.html . We have demo-ed the system and
it does exactly as advertised. If you are only doing the one board you
might talk to them anyway. They may be able to do the reverse
engineering of a schematic on a sub-contract deal for you.

Subject: [DC] A Reverse engineering question
I hate to switch gears on everyone, but I'm looking for a little input on a
job.
A customer sent me a 6 layer board (complete with all the components on both
sides) and wants to know if I can create data from it so that he can order
more. I have done several two layer boards as well as a couple simple four
layer designs, but six layers presents some problems. There is no
documentation (schematic, fab drawings, etc) and no manufacturing data.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how this might be
accomplished ? Of course the customer wants it immediately and for cheap,
but before I NO QUOTE this one I thought I'd get some input from the the
experts. Thanks in advance for your help..
