A Manx Aztec C is available as a cross- development system for the Mac environment. Versions support 680x0, 8086, 6805, 6502, Z80 and perhaps others, if memory serves. I recently purchased the 68020 system to do cross-development. The system produces S-record format code which downloads to many eprom programmers. The only disadvantage (in my opinion) is that it does not run under MPW shell. Instead it uses the Aztec shell which replaces the finder and will not run under multifinder. Bruce Hemingway .
