Keywords: Atron Probe Periscope
I am looking for info on a couple of hardware debuggers mentioned by
a customer: Periscope 4 and the Atron 386 Probe (apologies if the
names/models are wrong). I would appreciate a response as to quality,
ease-of-use, etc. If anyone has seen recent reviews of hardware
debuggers in recent periodicals, I would appreciate being notified of
these as well.
Please *email* to the address below; I will post a followup if there
is interest.

Atron versus Periscope: Atron is nice, but mega-bucks. Better, and cheaper, is the Periscope board. There was a comparative review of the two in a BYTE article a year ago or so. Periscope won out. It also won a Tech Ex award in PC-Mag last year. -- Ross M.

I used to use the Atron for tough debugging until I acquired a 386 and Nu-Mega's Soft-ICE. This lets me do pretty much everything I used to use the Atron for except debugging protected-mode code. Soft-ICE has also replaced my regular debugger (I used CodeSmith); these days the only additional tool I need is PC-Watch. (I assume that EVERYONE has a copy of PC Watch, correct?! It's available in the IBM Personally Developed Software series, and it's quite indispensable.))
