[comp.os.misc] 88K simulator

tadashi@isvax.isl.melco.co.jp (Tadashi Ogino) (03/16/90)

Dose anyone know something about 88K simulator 
(hopefully which I can get in Japan)?
Motorola may have that, but I'm not sure.
I'd like to develop our experimental OS with that.
Please E-mail. If there are many response, I'll summarize and post them.

Thanks in advance.

Motorola has one.  When I tried it 2 years ago, it was OK for testing
application programs, but really trouble when debugging operating system
stuff.  Maybe it's better now.

Motorola's 88K simulator is basically user mode only.

Tektronix has a more complete 88K simulator, complete with
I/O device emulation.

I have an "instruction recognizer" - ie. the decoder, the thing that
recognizes instructions, the heart of a dissassembler and the front-end
for a simulator and part of an instruction statistics gathering package
for the 88K (and a MIPS R2000 version, generated by the same tool to
generate fast instruction recognizers).  It's public domain, email me.
I'd like to make this into a simulator generator package, but I'm not working
on it now.
