Thanks Chuck, I should have got those before as I have been a member on there for ages, just couldn't remember they were there. The stuff in mine looks very similar to the Louis Sanders article I have, so I am sure its from the same article. I now need to read the theory and clean, adjust and l

LASM compatible cross assembler?

After getting my TRS-80 Model II keyboard repaired and up & running last week (http://www.insentricity.com/a.cl/257), I've been messing around with the Kermit source code to see if I can add hardware flow control support. I'm able to build Kermit using LASM on CP/M or on an emulator, but it woul

Re: SunOS 4

This all makes me want to try bringing up a modern compiler on SunOS 4.1.4 on my SPARCstation 20 again. The closest I got was bringing up GCC 2.95.3 using the system compiler, I couldn’t manage to build GCC 3.3 or 4.2.1 for SunOS. (For legal reasons I can’t really go near GPLv3 developer tools.
