   Does anybody know if a color monitor from a DN3000 can be used
   on a DN3500?  If this is possible, is there anything more involved
   than pulling the color board out of the DN3000 and putting it in
   the DN3500?

   Have any of Mentor users out there had any experience using 
   Quicksim for board level simulation?  What do you think of it?
   Have you had to create your own models or is the library of
   parts that can be purchased sufficient?  What size board are
   you simulating?  How dense (# of components) have the boards
   been that you have simulated?  What type of hardware are you
   running Quicksim on?  We are thinking about simulating one of
   our upcomming boards.  It will be roughly 15" square, 400+ active
   components, 1200-1300 including passive components.  The data
   base is rather large and the board will have two ASICs on it.
   Can Quickparts be used to model the I/O of an ASIC?  Can a 
   DN3500 do an adequate job for us?  If anyone can answer some
   of these or better yet all of these questions I would really
   appreciate it.

   Thanks ...

   Mike
