I'm a hardware person, and what I really want to
focus more time
on is using some of the 'classic' silicon I have accumulated.
Z80 sbcs (real Z80, not the new clones and ASIC things) and the
Intel 8088 project that I've half completed.
Pray tell, what is the "Intel 8088 project"?
http://sasteven.multics.org/8088page.html
(it has gone dormant at the moment)
I just took a quick look at the page, and I have some tools which might be
of use.
I have an 8086/8088 monitor, which provides edit/dump memory/registers,
serial download, breakpoints, single-step, disassembly and lots of other
goodies in just over 4K of code space - completely independant of hardware
(ie: No DOS/BIOS requirements).
I also have a PC based 8086/808 cross assembler intended for the "bare
metal" which produces downloadable code.
Both of the above I would be willing to make available to your project.
I also have a "bare metal" C compiler/development package for the 8086/8088
which I'm not quite ready to give away yet (still selling it), but if you get the
project "un-dormant", we can perhaps make some arrangement.
Regards,
Dave
