What ever happened to in-circuit emulators? I used an 8085A ICE in
a microprocessors class at Boston U. in the 1980s and it was *magic*.
I always wondered how they worked -- is it just an 8085A with a doctored
clock, or some complete re-implementation of it, or what? Physically
it was a 40-pin DIP plug with a thick cable leading off to a mass of
electronics. It's just the kind of thing that would turn up on eBay,
but only if you didn't need it.
