DigSimDo is a neat little package for the Mac.  It only does
digital, and it only has the basic circuit elements (NAND,
NOR, inverter, maybe one or two others), but it DOES have
subcircuits to make flip-flops, etc.  I designed a simple 8-bit
"nanocomputer" with it (even built the thing).  DigSimDo does
have a couple of not-insurmountable bugs, such as the inability to
overwrite a file, but it is shareware and only costs about $25.
(rough number from memory).

yup.

nope.

i know it works on 512k, Plus, and SE, so I assume it works on II.
