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

Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of a cross assembler to suit the 68000 range that will run on an and be compatible with an IBM AT. I need to assemble nmeonics and transfer them into a ROM emulator for one of our latest designs. Thanks in advance

They had a good product a couple of years ago, so it is probably still available. They also sold sources and things like vi for the PC. *MAYBE* they have a cross-assembler in the package.
