[net.micro.pc] CAD for IBM PC

kiely@lownlab.UUCP (James P. Kiely) (09/23/86)

I am planning to buy an IBM PC/AT for the expressed purpose
of CAD.  I am planning to use it immediately for schematic
capture and Printed Circuit Board design.  In the future, I
will also be doing semi-custom IC work (ASIC's) and circuit
simulation.

- What configuration machine should I buy?

- Where can I find an authoritative review of CAD software for the PC?

- Does anyone on the net have any suggestions for packages that I should
  either look into or avoid?

As usual, I will summarize the results of these queries to the net.
Thanks.
