I tried finding this program recently and found it's no longer available and was sold to another company. I did find a trial download and played with it a bit and liked how it works (especially the digital simulation aspect).
So my question is: What other programs work similar to Circuitmaker 2000 that don't cost a fortune to buy (like something from Altium, who bought Circuitmaker out) or is overkill for what I'd use it for? I'd happily pay a couple hundred for a good program to design schematics and run simulations.
OR, if someone has a copy of CM2000 they don't use I'd glady buy it from you.
Many of us here use LTspice. It's free, powerful, and uncastrated (not a demo or student version). You can also get a lot of help here when you are trying to learn how to use it.
I haven't tried any other sim packages recently, but a couple years ago I tried CM2000 along with Protel, Altium and others. I just didn't like how others did their digital simulations, and while they are probably more powerful they just didn't work well when you wanted to quickly build a digital circuit and see how it works.
If anyone here has used CM2000 for digital simulation and can recommend a package that works siilarly, it'd be much appreciated.
