Colin, My apologies if I am wrong about the netlist. I was unable to do anything with it nor were any Mentor reps able to help me at the time. (JUN-July of this year) I might attend another workshop later this month and am going to work outside of their canned demo and get some "factory" engineers to help. >From my comments you can see that I am leaning towards Expedition anyway. Its price/ performance is unparralled.
