Does anyone have any software for developing for the

bought some parts on eBay and am contemplating a bit-slice PDP-8 or DG Nova
for fun.
Bitsavers has some 3000 series manuals, but I can't seem to find any
"bits"
of software. Looks like CROMIS is the cross microprogram assembler, which
looks like it would've run on an MDS-800.
Signetics also had a microassembler for the 3000 series, "Signetics Micro
Assembler", also written in FORTRAN, and not compatible with CROMIS.
If CROMIS doesn't still exist, I'd suggest AMDASM on CP/M. It's on
Bitsavers. It is a general-purpose metaassembler, not in any way
specialized for AMD parts (e.g., 2900 series).
Some time ago I started working on an AMDASM clone written in Python 3, but
it's not yet far enough along to be useful.
