I'll mention in a previous job, one of the

used an MCS-96 microcontroller and the firmware was written in PL/M. I
believe they were designed in the 90's and as far as I know, they're
still being used today. The repair usually involved replacing the Dallas
RTC, but the rest of it was rock solid.
I doubt it, but was PL/M the only compiler available for the 80C196? I
don't know the rationale for using it.
Alexis.
We had an Intel C compiler for the 80C196 hosted on a VAX. I think that
BSO created the compiler for Intel - but that was a long time ago. I
know that that product is still shipping.
Most of our code was assembly language.
