I've been receiving assemblers from Apollo for the 680x0 series for 
a year now. And the nice thing about them is that it's free! 
They are sort of developing it into a supported product. So I got a sheet
to sign, saying that I would not abuse, etc, bla, bla.
But then I got several versions, running 9.7 and OS10. The last one I
received was 9.1 and it generated COFF files.

The assembler understands Motorola mnemonics, but it's nowhere near compatible
with the SUN assemblers. Furthermore are the used conventions a little bizar.
Things like in-line coding of data, a true read-only code space (also during
loading!). But I enjoyed it.

So I suggest to contact your salesrep, and ask

(for martin only: You're mail bounced with unknown host )
