I'm looking for freely available 68000 family assemblers.  I am
especially interested in ones which handle 68020, 68881, and the
MMU, but any vanilla 68000 assembler is also of interest.  I'm
interested in totally public domain packages (although I know
of none) and ones with restrictions.

Currently I am aware of :

A68k, by Charlie Gibbs, ported from Modula-2 code in Dr. Dobbs,
with MANY modifications from Mr. Gibbs, non-commercial usage
only, targetted for the Amiga, generates S-records, 68000 only.

GAS, the GNU Assembler, with the usual GNU restrictions, handles
the whole 68k family as far as I can tell...

There is apparently a freeware assembler for on the Motorola BBS,
which handles 68881, 68020, 68851, etc...  I don't know about
distribution terms or anything like that, because I don't have
access to the BBS.  Anybody have or know anything about this
package ?

There are others available, including DICE for the Amiga, by Matthew
Dillon, and McAsm for the Mac (don't remember the author), but these
are not in source form.  I assume that free assemblers exist for
the Atari ST, but I don't know anything there.  I'm specifically
interested in assemblers for which the source is distributed.

Replies by email and I will summarize if there is an interest.

Thanks in advance,

Eric
