[comp.sys.m88k] Looking for ICE's for the 88K

duane@mauve.samsung.com (Andrew Duane) (11/07/90)

The title just about says it all. We are looking for recommendations
for ICE's for an 88K CPU. I'll look at anything...

E-Mail preferred, I'll summarize if enough interest.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she's Intel i860 based.

Do you really want an ICE? The Norwegian company VMEtro sells an analyzer
for 680x0 and 88000 CPU's for a fraction of the cost an ICE would cost you.
The product is named PMA-030. The same company also makes a VMEbus analyzer.

The only ICE I remember hearing of was announced in an article in Electronic
Design (1/26/89) by Hilevel Technology, 31 Irvine Dr, Irvine CA 92718. Phone
number (714) 727-2100.

The system supposedly worked by controlling the signals to and from the MMU's.
Continuous wait states effectively halted the processor.  Jamming load or
store instructions allowed access to the state of the registers.

I have not heard of this device since that article.  Unless someone can correct
my guess, I suspect it never made it to market.
