Hey all, I just received a email from Digi Key that had this free schematic tool. I didn't check it out yet but thought it might be some help.

Subject: Re: [TCML] Schematic Capture Software
I had been using the free OrCAD 8.0 Pspice package, and while the schematic
capture may be lacking many things, the ability to simulate circuits was
HUGE!
I just got a Windows 8 PC, and sadly, I don't seem to be able to install
OrCAD. I tried compatibility mode - no dice.
I don't want this to devolve into a Windows 8 bashing thread (no one has
the bandwidth for that), but has anyone installed a free trial version of
OrCAD on W8?
