Abstract: We consider N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with a simple classical gauge group, one adjoint $Phi,N_f$ pairs ($Q_i,ilde{Q}_i$) of (fundamental, anti-fundamental) and a tree-level superpotential with terms of the Landau-Ginzburg form $ilde{Q}_{i}Ph{i}^l{Q}_j$. The quantum moduli space of these models includes a Coulomb branch. We find hyperelliptic curves that encode the low energy effective gauge coupling for the groups SO(N_c) and USp(N_c) (the corresponding curve for SU(N_c) is already known). As a consistency check, we derive the sub-space of some vacua with massless dyons via confining phase superpotentials. We also discuss the existence and nature of the non-trivial superconformal points appearing when singularities merge in the Coulomb branch.
