I am looking for a PD C-compiler that can generate code for a 6809. A friend of mine said that he had a copy of one that was posted a couple (maybe a few :-) years ago. He checked his tapes, but couldn't find it. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has knowledge of or, even better, has a copy of such a compiler. I would like one with source code because I work from a number of different hardware platforms, but a cheap one that worked under MSDOS would be fine also. Thanks. -Jeff --- Jeff Turner Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Inc. (612) 626-0544 1200 Washington Avenue South

I had the same problem (looking for a good 6809 C compilier). I have my own business, so I was looking for an inexpensive one (at first). I checked out WINTEK 1801 South St. Lafayette In. 47904 (800) 742-6809. They are ok, with a small library. I think the price was about $900. 2500AD po box 480 Buena Vista, CO. 80017 (719) 395-8683. They are cheap (500) + $150 for a 6809 simulator. I had nothing but problems, and the code was not effecient AT ALL. and INTROL 647 W virginia ST, Milwaukee, Wi. 53204 (414) 276-2937. The compilier is 2000 and a source level debugger/simulator is 1000. It generates excellent code (1 test program of 7 lines of C code was about 35 lines of assembler with 2500AD and 9 lines of assembler with INTROL!) I actually purchased the 2500 AD product after deciding I couldn't afford more. After 3 days of ZERO PRODUCTIVITY, I sent it back. I then gladly spent $3,000 for the INTROL c compilier, assepbler, and source level debugger, and have not regretted it since. -Brian Schmidt (Schmidt Entertainment Technologies) (708) 864-3330

If you run under OS9 there is the microware C compiler avaiable via Radio Shack for about $100. Then get the Krieder Clib and replacement CC exectuive from CI$ and you have a very cost effective setup compared to the prices I have seen posted here. Unfortunantly it is my understanding that Microware is no longer selling the 6809 C compiler directly so the only source is radio shack. If your local store does not have stock they can order it from Texas for you and you should have it in a few days. -Brett
