List of Planar ADFs

Content by Peter H. Wendt (original HERE). Edited by Tomáš Slavotínek.
Last Update: 06 Apr 2021

Planar ADFs are a special case, as they are tied to planar boards rather than adapter cards. More info about Planar ADF files can be found HERE.

Here's a list of the planar ADFs, the associated machines, and the relevant options:
