I mentioned that all Apple computers have debuggers/monitors. NeXT is
a workstation as far as I am concernced. The IBM PC is a good example
of how things should be, though if it had a monitor too, it would be
nice. Not like i'd ever use it, just nice to know it's there.
etc.
Sorry, I meant
home personal computers. PDPs, IMSAIs, various
development systems don't count. Satisfied?
Ah, but on this list, and most definitly in my home, PDP's, IMSAI's, are home personal computers :^)
Besides Allison mentioned the IBM PC with ROM BASIC, and I've used a
Zenith
Z248 (a 286) with a ROM Monitor that you can drop into,
both of these
are
definitly not developement machines. My NeXT slab had
a ROM based
monitor,
and the PowerMac I'm typing this on can be dropped
into the debugger at
any
time by hitting the proper key sequence.
