Hello.
I found your description of GneRad FutureData.
The ICE and development unites were separate. The development units contained a Z80
processor, not the target processor. We had a preparatory operating system. It had a
command language similar to CPM. It also provided overlapping I/O. We supported Intel 8086
processors. Maybe a typo nut I do not remember it having a target of a 6802. We did have
6502 and 6800 ICE units. I do not remember having BASIC. We had a PASCAL compiler. Bill
Author wrote the front end of the PASCAL compiler. I started with Future Data about the
time GenRad bought them. I initially worked on the code generation for the 8086
processors. While there we developed code generation for the 68000, Z8000, 6800, 6502. I
worked for them until they moved operations to the Bay area.
