In fact, that is the only way to program the 68705; it has to program itself, you can't do it externally. Given this, the problem is reduced to programming an EPROM, for which innumerable solutions are available. As for assemblers, you can probably find a good one without too much trouble, but in a pinch you might want to check out my "aaa", in the comp.sources.unix archives, which can assemble for almost any 8-bit machine with an hour or so of work. aaa is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a terribly good assembler, but it does work. -- The 486 is to a modern CPU as a Jules | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology Verne reprint is to a modern SF novel. | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
