Applicon Bravo. They used storage tubes
We also had CalMa cad systems for IC layout. driven by a Nova 2600 computer with a VAX77/90 as backbone to run spice. 1989...
Applicon mechanical cad lives on as Pro/engineer. ( PTC bought them . )

they did all of this with 64k of ram... we can't even make bootloaders that fit in that anymore.
