I'm looking for a copy of SPICE or PSPICE for some circuit simulation. I work at the Cochlear Implant Lab at Mass. Eye and Ear hospital, and we are connecting all kinds of interesting widgets to people's ears. A good circuit simulator would help a *LOT* in designing sensitive, low power sensors. We have a VAX 11/750 running, and we have access to several MacII's and a MacSE, each with about 4meg of memory. Pointers to sources for SPICE or PSPICE code and fixes would be good things. Please respond to raoul@eplunix or call me, (617)573-3768, or send a note, to Nico Garcia CIRL - Mass Eye and Ear Hospital 243 Charles St. Boston, MA 02114 Hints to vendors with good code would be fine, since we have some grant money. Freeware would be even better. I would prefer to run it on the VAX, but on the Mac's would be OK, too. Thanx. nico

There is a version of SPICE (2g6, I think) available from the Digital Equip-
ment Users Group, DECUS. I have used this version extensively and found it
to be relatively bug-free. There are newer versions available from the
University of California, Berkeley, for VAXen and PC's for basically a small
distribution cost. I have not used these, but I have heard numerous complaints
about bugs in these versions. The newsgroup dealing with LSI design would be
a good place to ask about these newer versions.
I am now using the version by INTUSOFT for use with PC's. Simulation speed is
slow as expected, but the schematic capture and graphics post processor are
quite useful, as are their component libraries. You can generate your SPICE
input file using this software and upload it to a VAX for the simulation; then
you can download the SPICE output file back to your PC and use the INTUSOFT
graphics package to display your results.
There are several other implementations of SPICE for PC's out there. Before
buying one, you should get some experience on your VAX.
While writing this note, I remembered where I mislaid my VAX software source
book. DEC has two entries on SPICE, one very high priced and the other from
DECUS. As for the DECUS version, call Cathy Hatch at DECUS at 617/480-3419
for more details. Good luck on this effort - I think you will find SPICE
very useful.

Anybody out there done any XTAL oscillator modelling in SPICE? I'd be interested in hearing from anybody with oscillator/SPICE experience. Thanks, C.D.T WB4HVD

Does anybody know where I can get a hold
of the the source code for solving Laplace transform
matrices ?
These programs may go under various names but
SPICE is the most common. There are reputedley some
very good (and some bad) public domain versions of
the SPICE and MONTE CARLO algs and I would be very
pleased to get copies of anything whether this be
by email or by reference to literature articles.
Lanquages (in order of preference):
C
Pascal
Modula 2
ADA
anything
FORTRAN (apologies to any fortran people but
this is one lanquage I missed at uni).
Thanks in advance.rjmanno@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Richard Joseph Manno) (05/31/91)
Hello,
I've been using SPICE on the VAX here at school and would now like
to put it on my PC.
Is there a PC version of SPICE and who do I contact to buy it?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Thanks to all who responded to my post. The answers were very helpful.
