Good news.... your HP 64870 Cross Assembler/Linker can generate Motorola 
S-record files directly.  There are two ways to accomplish this, 

   A. Use the the "FORMAT S" or "LIST A" command in your linker command
      file.  Either or these will cause the output to be in S-Record 
      format.  
   B. Use the command line option  "-f a"  

Note that you probably want to include the "LIST NOP" command, or use the 
command line option "-f nop" to prevent symbol info from being placed in
the file.

BTW - There is also a product called the HP 64000-UX Utilities Package 
      for the HP 9000 series 300/400 that will allow you to convert 
      .X to S-record among other things.
