[fa.info-vlsi] Existing VLSI functional testers inquiry

        My group at JPL has started to need a functional tester to put test
vectors through custom designs we've produced.  I have heard rumors that there
are plenty of them available commercially, and that the Stanford tester board
should be looked into.

        I am looking for as simple and cheap a machine as possible.  A 40Mhz
analogue tester for millions of dollars doesn't really interest me.  I would
like a digital tester to work in the 0.5 to 4 Mhz range with 64K bits of input
and output to each pin under computer control.  If someone offers a contract
service for one of the really fancy machines, I would like to know about them
for future major projects just in case.

        Could anyone send me manuals, pointers to manuals, reviews of the
brand of tester you are using, etc.  I will post any results of the survey to
these lists, condensed if needed.

                        (-)NX in advance,
                        Doug
