This is NOT a recommendation, just a pointer, I've only got as far as
requesting the bumph myself!

Keil Computers GmBH produce an 8051 toolset which looks good on paper.

KEIL C51 - ANSI C compiler written for 8051
DScope51 - 8051 CPU Simulator and High-level Debugger (demo disk available)
A51 Asm  - Macro assembler

The UK price is about 500 pounds for the compiler, the blurb makes it sound
wonderful (surprise!), surely it can't all be lies ??
