Hi There Can anyone point me in the direction of a good M68000 assembler for the apollos. Ideally it should understand Motorola mnemonics. We would expect to use it under SR10.2 and above. Thanks in advance Martin Colley

And the nice thing about them is that it's free! They are sort of developing it into a supported product. So I got a sheet to sign, saying that I would not abuse, etc, bla, bla. But then I got several versions, running 9.7 and OS10. The last one I received was 9.1 and it generated COFF files. The assembler understands Motorola mnemonics, but it's nowhere near compatible with the SUN assemblers. Furthermore are the used conventions a little bizar. Things like in-line coding of data, a true read-only code space (also during loading!). But I enjoyed it. So I suggest to contact your salesrep, and ask (for martin only: You're mail bounced with unknown host ) Ciao, Willem Jan Withagen Eindhoven University of Technology DomainName: wjw@eb.ele.tue.nl Digital Systems Group, Room EH 10.10 BITNET: ELEBWJ@HEITUE5.BITNET P.O. 513 Tel: +31-40-473401 5600 MB Eindhoven The Netherlands
