Every computer-aided engineering (CAE) tool has its limitations and shortcomings. Knowing where the pitfalls lie and how to get around them is extremely valuable. This paper takes a look at the problems and limitations encountered using the Daisy Systems suite of digital design tools (on a Logician 386 and a PKK386 MegaLogician, running DNIX 5.02A) to redesign a 169 small scale integrated (SSI) component design into an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) gate array. Deficiencies were found in the libraries, ACE, MDLS, DTA, MCFS, and the Hotline support. Some solutions and workarounds to these deficiencies are presented.
