**This one's for the line eater**

I am in the process of evaluating _currently_available_ ICE
systems for use with 8088/8086/80286 processors, and have not
had much luck finding a good system.

I would appreciate any experiences/information/rumors you have,
particularly in terms of ease of use and transparency of
different ICE systems.

I looked at two systems a while back.  One stole NMI for its
own use, which made it almost unusable for our needs.  The other
system disassembled code into the form of JMP/CALL $+offset, and
also only allowed memory addresses to be specified with a
non-segmented address.  These two 'features' made this system
much less user friendly than I would care for. 

I need a true ICE - a hardware debug card (ala Atron) will not
do.

Excuse my cross-posting this - please respond either via mail or
to net.micro, since I do not subscribe to net.arch or
net.research. 

Thanks in advance.
