Rumor has it that Zane H. Healy may have mentioned these words:
Well, it's *supposed* to be the same instruction set... but what (if any)
definition of "supposed" Motorola has is anybody's guess...
I can tell you that the 68k cross-compiler you use to create palm proggies
(.prc files) under Linux is stock... no changes required. _Sounds_ pretty
compatible to me, but of course YMMV.
HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
P.S. If I had:
1) a fair-to-decent assembler/editor for an Atari ST,
2) the .prc file header/footer format, &
3) any fair 68k assembly starter docs, I could test some things out...

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
Are you sure
the processor is the same? I didn't even think it had a
Motorola processor. If it is based on the 68k I suspect you might find
it's missing some of the instructions. I know I've seen talk in Amiga
circles about the latest 68k chips not having all the instructions
necessary to use them in a Amiga clone.

Guess I might as well correct myself. The processor is a Motorola
Dragonball. However, as mentioned, I don't think the instruction set is
quite the same. Don't know though.
