For those of you who asked me to forward that student
version of PSPICE to you, sorry. No one sent it to me.
One person did tell me that it was available from whomever
produces it. I just don't have the time to wait for the
regular mail to get here.

From an ad in the March 1990 issue of IEEE Spectrum:
IsSPICE/Mac (for any Macintosh) $210
No coprocessor version $95
(Runs on 1 Meg Plus or SE)
from IntuSoft, P.O. Box 6607, San Pedro CA 90734-6607.
The ad also says "Special Educational Discounts, Student Versions and
Network Packages available".
I tried this out a while back and as I recall it's just the plain old
antique text-file-based SPICE ported to the Mac -- you describe your
circuit in a SPICE-syntax text file, run one program to solve it, then
start up another program to display the results on screen (and very
awkwardly, too). Very limited use of menus, buttons, dialogs, no
wiring up your circuit on screen, or even seeing what it looks like.
Not at all Mac-ish in character. Phooie, who wants it? (But, maybe
it's been improved recently...?)
I have a copy of Micro-CAP, which looks much more like a Mac program;
but haven't had opportunity to really try it yet. WIll report on it
if and when I do.
