Hi,
 
I have an old PCB project for a 68060 computer board, I used to build 
and sell in 2002.
 
In 2002, I only had Schematics in PDF format and the Gerber files in 
RS-274-D format, which I have now converted to RS-274-X, with Drill data 
files.
 
I needed to make some changes to the 4 layer PCB, so I loaded the Gerber 
files into KiCad 5 Gerber Viewer and saved as a KiCad PCB file.
 
I can load in the KiCad 5 PCB file into PCB-RND and everything looks to 
be as expected.
 
I could make the changes required but I have now been given the 
Schematic and PCB source data files, which were created in P-CAD v7 or v8
 
I found the old P-CAD v8.50 PCB system and have it running in 
Virtualbox, so can load up the Schematic editor and have tools to 
generate Netlists. The PCB editor is Security Dongle protected, so I 
doubt I can find a Dongle.
 
The P-CAD Netlist is saved as a binary file, but there are tools to 
generate ASCII Netlists, can I import the P-CAD Netlist files into PCB-RND?
 
Regards,
Derek
