Hello,

Recently I asked for informtion on SPICE, or some other circuit analysis,       program for the Macintosh.  Since then I have gotten quite a few responses.     Several people wanted me to e-mail them a summary of the responses, but since   so many wanted that, I decided to post a followup article.

There is a SPICE program called PSPICE by Microsim.  Supposedly they provide    a free demo that is limited to about 15 elements.  I was told of two phone      numbers to call (714) 770-3022 and (714) 770-2415.  The last number mentioned   is the customer service number.  I was told the program is a straight port to   the Mac from the PC version.

Another SPICE program mentioned was Ispice by Intusoft.  I was told they pro-
vide a disk.  I was told to call (213) 833-9658 and to ask for their demo       disk for Ispice, prespice, and intuscope programs for the Mac.

Another program mentioned was Dr. Circuit 1.4.  This is a simple linear analy-  sis shareware program.  It was mentioned however that the results look in-      accurate.

Also mentioned was MacSpice by Deutch Research.  They also may provide a demo.  (to PEM, could you please post Deutch Research's phone number and any other     info you have, thank you.)

It was mentioned that a person might check sumex-aim.stanford.edu for ftp.

It was also mentiooned to me that the BMUG Newsletter of Winter/Spring '90 has  a good article for the U. of Hawaii on the subject of circuit analysis.


To all the people who sent me information about SPICE for the Macintosh, I      thank you.  I really appreciate your response.  If anyone else has any info     please e-mail me at serickso@ub.d.umn.edu.

Thank you,
Scott Erickson
