I am writting a 68000 emulator/debugger for the IBM PC and compatables. I need a good 68000 cross assembler for the PC. I would like to know if one is available in the public domain, or if the C source code for a 68000 assembler is available. If none of the above is available I would like to know of a good commercially developed 68000 assembler. Please send any information on this subject to my address. I will post a summary if there is sufficient interest. Derek Ney ney@csvax.caltech.edu 1-57, Caltech Pasadena, CA 91126 (818)356-3772

Now we not only have the opportunity of waiting 20 minutes for an '86 compilation/assembly/link, NOW we can wait that long for 68K stuff as well. What fun. Emulating an 8086 on a 68020 can be done at a substantial fraction of the 8086 operating speed (maybe faster). Emulating a 68K on the intel thing though will be **SLOW** i.e. large fraction of a second per instruction. Remember the incompatible byte ordering, the '86 poor performance overall, but especially with 32 bit quantities, etc. In a business environment, the cost of your time to make this thing work (or the cost of the time to use it) would more than justify the purchase of some 68K-based machine instead. > >Derek Ney ney@csvax.caltech.edu >1-57, Caltech Perhaps this is a school related project? If so, I would be less inclined to disuade you from it, as it can't help but be a valuable learning experience. Have fun. >Pasadena, CA 91126 >(818)356-3772 > > > --IHM -- uucp: ihnp4!nrcvax!ihm

I don't know about your business environment, but mine can't afford to purchase a new system for everything we develop. I think we should encourage software like this.

Looking for a 68000 Cross Assembler I am looking for a 68000 Cross Assembler that runs under MS-DOS. I will be developing code for 68000 coprocessor card that plugs into an AT or compatables and so I would like to keep the development environment on the AT. Information on commercial, share-ware, or pd packages are welcome. Email responses are preferred. Thanks for you help. Dave Guggisberg Hewlett-Packard 1000 N.E.

Does anyone know of a 68000 cross assembler for the IBM PC? Anything would do.. Thanks. Andrew Coll ESV@PSUVM.BITNET

Andrew,
Try the AVOCET 68K cross compiler. I have used it and it seems to be
a pretty solid package. They are based in Rockland, Maine. I can't
seem to find the number or address at the moment...

We are using a 68000 C-compiler and cross assembler package from Alcyon. The compiler is quite primitive: no ANSI prototypes, no passing of unions or structures, no initialization of unions. I haven't used the assembler too much, but it seems to assemble standard 68000 opcodes o. k. I think we paid $600 - $800 for compiler, linker, assembler, and a fairly useless function library (we wrote our own).
