Here's the sim I'm using:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/circuit/

It's actually a pretty decent app. written in Java, seems up to handling 
some pretty complex things. It has a few UI quirks, and has a major 
drawback in that you cannot add bi-directional pins to the circuits, 
which is a bit annoying when you're designing something that has a data 
bus that is mean to be read from and written to.
