Does anyone know where I can get an assembler for a Z80? I would prefer a cross assembler running under ProDOS, but I'll take anything I can get. I'm working on a hardware project, and I need to write several K of code that has to be put into an eprom. I can burn an eprom from a DOS 3.3 or ProDOS file, so I would prefer to get an assembler that can create the file directly instead of having to transfer it from one computer or operating system to another. Thanks. Kelly Gray (GRAY@ADMIN.HumberC.ON.CA)

In-Reply-To: message from GRAY@ADMIN.HumberC.ON.CA The S-C Macro Assembler had a substantial number of cross-assemblers available as "supplements" to the assembler itself. The Z-80 was one of them, but was only available in DOS 3.3 format, I believe. Unfortunately, S-C Software was closed down in May of 1988, but you might try the address or phone below and see what you get. Bob Sander-Cederlof was working full-time at AE the last I heard, and may have kept one or the other of them active. If you can get in touch with him, he might be able to help you out. S-C Software's old address: PO Box 280300 Dallas, TX 75228 (214) 324-2050

In-Reply-To: message from rich@pro-exchange.cts.com While the speed wouldn't be very good, you could use ORCA/M or APW to assemble Z-80 programs provided you wrote macros for the op code definitions. ORCA lets you rename existing op codes so as to avoid conflicts where op codes might be similar and if you got really fancy you could even add some error checking to the macros to prevent addressing errors and the like but all of this would run pretty slow, particularly if the macros got complex.
