When I started working here at the university in 1982 they used MMI- PALs in hardware developement. PALs were programmed with "PALASM 20" or "PALASM 24" written in FORTRAN IV on the Telefunken TR-440. It had been just retired when I started. After this "PALASM" was ported to the successor of this machine, a VAX-780. They had also developed an universal crossassembler "UCAMS" (UniversalCross Assembler for Microprocessors Stuttgart). It started on the TR-440, was then ported to the VAX, and in 2011 I succeeded to port it
to my PDP8 under OS/8. Many many overlays. :-)
In the "data catalog 1976" Intel advertises many software products
written in FORTRAN IV:
PL/M compilers for 8080 and 8008.
Crossassembler for 4004 and 4040
MAC8 and MAC40 macroassembler for 8008 and 4040
INTERP/40 simulator for 4004 and 4040
INTERP/8 and INTERP/80 simulator for 8008 and 8080
MCS-80 crossassembler for 8080
CROMIS cross microprogramming system for i3000 bit slices
In the Motorola "microcomputer development systems and subsystems"
from 1979 Motorola advertises M68EML, a m6800 emulator, M68MPLC
a crosscompiler for MPL ("based an PL/I"), M68SAM, a crosscompiler.
All written in FORTRAN and distributed on cards or magnetic tapes,
in different variants for:
Sigma 9, HP 2100, IBM360/370, Nova, Honeywell 6000, CDC 6000 and
PDP-11.
