Could someone out there clue me in on a usable and stable EE CAD package for the MacII's ? This package should ideally have: 1) Schematic Capture 2) PCB Layout with a real auto-router 3) Accurate Digital( and possibly analog) simulation 4) Reasonably stable 5) Extensive libraries I know of McCad but McCad does not satisfy [2-5]. If there is some other group out there which is more appropriate for such a topic, I am not aware of it. Clue me in on that too. You can e-mail me at low@lpf.umd.edu and I will summarize if there's interest.

I have been using DesignWorks from Capilano Computing ((604) 669-6343) for several years and have been very happy with it. It is tightly linked to a layout/autrouter package from Douglas Electronics ((415) 483-8770). I also have that package and am very happy with it, but I have not used the autorouter much so I do not know what its limits are. You can buy the whole package from either company. They both can provide you with demo disks. Capilano also sells a spice package that works with DesignWorks. I have not seen it so I can't comment on it. One additional note: Capilano Computing is now the exclusive distributor of MacAble by Data I/O. With this package you can design a PAL, stick it in your schematic and simulate the whole works. THey will also have a package out soon that will take your schematic create a PAL from it. Call them for more details. Ken Hillen

I'm looking for CAD software to put on our Mac network which consists of Plus and SE systems with 2.5Mb RAM. We don't have many requirements, other than a fairly low price. This will mostly be used for diagrams for papers/theses. We're an engineering school with an emphasis on mining (hence the name) and other earth related subjects (physics, geophysics, geology, seismic waves, ...) so I would appreciate responses from those of you who use CAD software for such illustrations. Other responses are, of course, welcome as well. Thanks in advance. Connie Schamaun Colorado School of Mines cschamau@csm9a.Colorado.edu
