2809.0. "SPICE on the Amiga?" by TFH::KIRK (a simple song) Mon Aug 07 1989 20:14

Does anyone know of any schematic capture/circuit simulator/board layout 
packages available for the Amiga?

I'm interested in a general analog simulator of SPICElike capabilities, and 
would be willing to spend several hundred dollars for a good tool. 

(Of course then I'd have to get myself an Amiga to run it on, but a circuit 
simulator is THE product to really entice me to replace my old PDT-150 .-)

I know these tools are available for IBMpcs, but I think I'd rather avoid 
that.

Thanks for any and all help.

    Aspice was distributed on Fish disk 177.  The file can be copied from
    TAPE::DUA1:[AMIGA.FISH.FF177]ASPICE.ZOO.  This was 2g6 (I think) compiled
    by someone at Berkley (I think).  Source was not provided.  Just for
    the heck of it I did some comparisons with Hspice running on the
    VAX at work.  Results were identical to 2-3 decimal places!  It was
    however considerably slower than the VAX :-).  No 68881 version of
    the executable was provided unfortunately.
    
    I don't know of any commercially available spice.  However, I believe
    a demo of something called Pspice was floating around so you might
    want to check this out...

    Matrix Laboratory is also available for the Amiga in the public domain.
    In fact, it's a pretty direct port from the VAX version.  MatLab
    performs just about any of the matrix manipulations needed for
    state-space or vibration analysis (or even circuits, for EE types).
    
    Typical operations supported are eigenvalue and eigenvector extraction
    by finding the roots of the matrix's characteristic equation,
    inversion, convolution, and determinants.  Simple plotting is also
    supported.
