I'm not the referenced party, but most companies use an IBM 386 clone as a
host
development system with a cross-assembler. The object file is usually
downloaded to a ROM emulator type box via a parallel or serial interface.

I know of about five companies that offer IBM clone based development
systems
and of one that offers an Amiga 3000 based development system.
