RainbowIDE 1.0 Available

Ohmygosh - On-Topic Commercial Plug Follows! If you can't handle ontopic stuff, or commercial stuff, look away now! ;-) Anyway, I offered to put a post on the cctalk list for Roger Taylor to let people know that he's released a new Integrated Development Environment called RainbowIDE that allows you to create new, exciting programs for many different classic machines out there. If there's a cross-assembler that runs on Windows for that processor, and M.E.S.S. can emulate the machine, then this is the rascal for you. I haven't had a chance to test RainbowIDE yet, but I have used it's predecessor - Portal-9, which is great for coding for the Tandy CoCo and/or Vectrex machines which are 6809-based. It's slicker than oil on water.[1] This new IDE can handle 6502, 6800/6809, Z80 and other CPUs, and you can assemble your code, spark up M.E.S.S, mount your virtual floppies and/or ROMs, and test them all with a single mouseclick. Yes, this does run on Winders, but it's designed for coding new proggies for classic machines (mostly 8-bit, but there might be some 16-bitters possible as well)... go check 'er out. http://www.rainbowide.com/ Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger [1] My affiliation with Roger Taylor are solely as a very satisfied customer, and we have the same first name. I'm *way* too ugly to be a "compensated endorser." ;-) -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger | A new truth in advertising slogan SysAdmin, Iceberg Computers | for MicroSoft: "We're not the oxy... zmerch at 30below.com | ...in oxymoron!"
