Does anyone know of an assembler available for the MacII that uses both the 68020 and 68881 instruction sets and registers, and for which the object code could be linked to LightSpeedC ? Can MPW Assembler be linked to LSC ? I have some floating point intensive code and LSC 2.1X is not good enough. The LSC/SANE approach doesn't (apparently) allow direct manipulation of the floating point registers in the 68881, and misses out on a major speed improvement associated with their use. I realize LSC 3.0 includes 68881 support, but will still lack 68020 extensions (like long word multiplies).
