gate array lIbrary for the IKOS

(1 / 1)


Being that we have an IKOS library for VGT100 (2.0 micron gate array) and no one 
is using it or plans to use it, 

Being that Pat Mccarthy has a keen current interest in using on the IKOS
simulator the VGT200 library (1.6micron gate array) and other persons are 
likely to prefer the VGT200 to the VGT100,

I propose to swap the IKOS VGT100 that we have for the IKOS VGT200 that we 
do not have but want.  (The swap will avoid a $1000 to $5000 library charge 
from IKOS that we would incur on acquiring an additional library.)


Unless there is some significant input to the contrary, the swap will occur 
Tues morning Nov. 15.   

IMPACT:  
After that time we will no longer be able to simulate VGT100 on the IKOS.  
After that time we will           be able to simulate VGT200 on the IKOS.  
There is no impact on our ability to simulate either of these libraries 
using VSIM.



Please respond to this vaxaddress by Monday if you disaggree with this proposal.
