- None


IBISCHK700 parser development:
Bob Ross said a release seemed imminent. The example BIRD189.7 models had duplicate
terminals, connecting to the same place. In SPICE that could be used to short nodes.
We did not allow it, an error is flagged.  Mike LaBonte said we allow that, and the
simulator was to connect the buffer to the pad.  Bob said the issue was with supply
signals and pads created using [Die Supply Pads], so it might not be clear how to make
those connections.  Some people were eagerly awaiting the software release.


IBISCHK7 source code license:
Bob Ross said two more payments had been received, totaling three paid. Five agreements
had been signed, and two other prospects remained possible.


IBIS-ISS parser:
Mike LaBonte suggested waiting until IBISCHK700 was qualified and released before
sending the RFQ for an ISSCHK parser.


Bob Ross moved to adjourn. Lance Wang seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 11:20 ET
