If I may be permitted to throw in my 2 cents worth here, I have an assembler /
linker pair that will place anything you like anywhere you like. For example
it has created code to be burnt into an EPROM (code and initialised data at
0000H, uninitialised data at 4000H), or a BIOS (everything starting at
0F200H), or if you leave it alone, it produces a regular CP/M flavour .COM
file: starting at 0100H. It's all done with flags to the linker: basically
when you link, you just tell the linker where to put everything, and voila -
there you are.

CAVEAT - It is *_NOT_* compatible with M80, so sources will need to
be massaged, but I use it all the time, and it does work.

P.S. I wrote it myself, so I have no problem at all about shipping a copy
to anyone who is interested.
