We are developing software on a sun4/260 to be downloaded to several boards. One board required 68020 code and we bought the sun cross-compiler (part no. CRC-20-3-4-5) to satisfy that need. A need has now arisen to assemble 68000 code and the cross-compiler package apparently doesn't support that. One possible source I have found is Microtec Research Inc which sells a macro assembler for the 68000 family. Does anyone have experience with this or any another package for asseembling 68000 code on a sun4?

You should be able to use the Sun cross-compiler and specify that you want to generate code for a sun2 (mc68010). That will generate code which is compatible with the 68000 (i.e. no bitfield insns, etc.). The only difference between the 68010 and 68000 are in a few supervisor mode instructions which no sane compiler should ever emit. If you really need a 68000-only assembler, you could use gas, the GNU assembler - it's free, and available for anonymous FTP from AENAS.MIT.EDU in pub/gnu. @alex
