SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0

Windows 3.1 and Windows NT Operating Systems
A Computer-Aided Engineering Software Package

Santa Clara, CA -- March 29, 1994 -- SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 combines a
Berkeley-compatible "industry standard" simulation language with
full-featured, graphical design tools. The engineer is furnished with a
complete design-entry and analysis system for modeling circuits and
systems at multiple levels of abstraction. Digital, analog, non-electronic
system, and algorithms can be combined in a single simulation. Additional
features include a symbol/device editor and librarian, a multi-layer
schematic editor, a "point-and-shoot" interactive graphical simulation
engine, circuit debugging, extensive device-model libraries, and alternate
format import/export functions. The Code Modeling feature allows users to
add new models directly into the simulator. This CAE package utilizes
standard I/O drivers for printing/plotting as well as providing extended
drivers for pen-plotter support. SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 may be
utilized as an entry tool for CAD-Migos' PCB design and automation tool,
THE WHOLE ENCHILADA for Windows v1.0 (Windows 3.1 and Windows NT Operating
Systems) scheduled for release in Summer 1994.

PRICING/AVAILABILITY:

SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 will retail for $1,895.00. SPICE-IT! for Windows
NT v1.0 will retail for $2,095.00.

SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 products are available directly from CAD-Migos
Software. RELEASE DATE: Second Quarter 1994. Upon request, a free
demonstration package is available. For further information, contact
Pamela J. Schneider at (415) 369-5853.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 operates on IBM PC
compatible platforms with system requirements of a personal computer with
a 80386 processor (or higher); 4 MB of RAM; a hard disk with 10 MB of free
disk space; and a VGA or higher resolution graphics adapter and compatible
monitor. MS-DOS version 3.1 or later (version 5.0 recommended); Windows
3.1; Mouse; Matrix and Laser Jet Printers supported.

COMPANY BACKGROUND: CAD-Migos Software Tools, Inc., founded in 1990, is
dedicated to the development, marketing, and distribution of advanced
engineering software tools for the product design and development fields.
The current "populations" of workstation platforms in these fields have
guided the company to develop tools for the high-end "PC-compatible"
workstation utilizing the extremely popular user interface, Microsoft
Windows as their desktop environment. The company intends to introduce
these same tools to other, lower population, platforms as secondary market
opportunities.

Currently, engineers are searching for design tools that are:

1) integrated to run under a multi-tasking graphical unit interface (GUI),
or framework with individual seat affordability;

2) designed to provide time-sharing (multi-tasking) coexistence and data
sharing techniques with popular spreadsheet, wordprocessing, and other
third-party products;

3) familiar-to-use without exhausting training classes to learn yet another
GUI;

4) modular and seamlessly integrated allowing one, or many, individuals to
perform all, or part, of required design phases; and

5) network-aware allowing geographically separated individuals to
participate in designs.

The modem design engineer is not an isolated, "ivory-tower" individual in
the current product design environment. At any moment, the designer is
required to be a technologist, secretary, product manager, technician,
manufacturer, and a librarian. Currently available engineering tools,
running as dedicated, single-tasking programs, do not allow engineers to
"jump from hat to hat" quickly and easily. In addition, those programs
that are merely "ported" to a GUI platform do not allow the engineer to
exchange information between his pre-existing desktop utilities and the
ported programs as the new tools are designed with proprietary data
interfaces. These facts provide a market opportunity for a company, such
as CAD-Migos, to provide engineering tools that easily co-exist with the
"other hat" tools that the typical engineer is already utilizing both in
terms of multi-tasking and data-sharing.

PRODUCTS: The company development phases have been carefully designed to
introduce the CAD-Migos products in the same general manner in which the
end-user is expected to utilize them. This greatly simplifies the
marketing task of logical product group introductions and enhances the
ability of the development team to track the products during initial
testing.

The design phases utilized today generally follow as:

1) Initial design conceptualization and organization
   (sometimes heirarchical)
2) Design entry and verification / simulation
3) Fabrication preparation (layout, materials lists, etc) and
   Manufacturing support
4) Documentation phases
5) Fabrication

Our product, SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0, consists of a graphical schematic
editor, component library symbol editor, and a Berkeley-compatible,
interactive Spice simulation package. SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 operates
on IBM PC compatible platforms under the Microsoft Windows Operating
System. This tool group, in conjunction with the word processing and
spreadsheet utilities already on the engineer's desktop, provide solutions
to steps #1 and #2 above.

SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0 features the ability to create, maintain, and
manipulate individual graphical symbols using a powerful, full-featured
symbol editor. The ability to maintain libraries of these symbols is also
provided.

The ability to logically connect the library symbols is provided by the
schematic editor as well as the ability to establish test points and
stimulus points for subsequent simulation.

Full compatibility with Berkeley Spice Version 3E2 provides accurate
modeling capabilities based on either text script input (Spice macro
language) or the netlists created utilizing the schematic editor tools
above. This compatibility provides simulation capabilities above and
beyond the traditional simulation tools including transmission line
support, noise and distortion analysis, and enhanced mathematical
convergence.

Scheduled for release in the Summer of 1994, is our CAD/CAE tool package,
The Whole Enchilada for Windows v1.0 (Windows 3.1 and Windows NT Operating
Systems). This electronic design and engineering system provides these
features (SPICE-IT! for Windows is incorporated into this package):
graphical logic simulator, interactive and fully automatic PCB layout
tools, post-processing utilities (Gerber, Postscript, EDIF 2.0.0 tools),
and thermal analysis tools. These utilities are being developed to take
advantage of full-network operation across multiple platforms and the
expected releases of Win32 and Windows NT Operating System software. These
tools, in conjunction with SPICE-IT! for Windows v1.0, completes the
design phase steps outlined above.

Future releases will migrate these tools to operate under the UNIX /
XWINDOWS / MOTIF workstation environments while adding a VHDL toolset for
enhanced hierarchical design capabilities. These releases address the
secondary markets existing in the higher end workstations where, today,
capabilities are superior, but the ratio of capability to price is
considerably lower than the overall "PC compatible" market.
