After much procrastination, I got my single-board 68000 system running last weekend. It has 128K EPROM, 512K SRAM, and a 68681, all running at 8MHz. It is currently programmed to execute tight loops, which was thrilling for about fifteen seconds and has now gotten pretty dull. I'm in the process of wiring up the serial port and thinking about how to use my Sun3 to generate ROMable code. I've got a copy of Phil Harbison's 'tohex' which seems to do a good job of turning '.o' files into S-record format. I'm not a hundred percent sure how to get the compiler and link editor to put things together for me the way I want, but I'm starting to see the light. I guess the next step is to build a monitor in assembler and C. If anyone has words of wisdom or source code to share, please feel free to write. -Henry
