Lacy,
About the connector issue way back, it was a long time ago, but didn't you say that connectors don't simulate b/c they don't have a model? Or am I remembering incorrectly?
If that's the case, what I'm saying is I'm thinking the connector could still be used if each pin were made model-able by installing a 0.01 ohm resistor in series with the pin. (As it turns out, I ended up not building that circuit, so I've not tested the idea, but it should work, yes?)
Ok, now I have to return to what I was doing. I'd just forgotten to get back with you on that.
By the way, if you missed it, I did get a CMOS oscillator to work (and I built an IC version last night which drove my design just fine.) Here it is:
