While I never had to write a disassembler I have written quite a bit of assembler code and have done a number of disassemblies. (Still do once in a while but most of what I do today is for fun.) My first was PDP-11 followed by Z-80\8080, M68K and M6809. I have even done some VAX. I have worked with x86, not from scratch but maintenance. Of all of them the last was the worst and I would never do it for fun. Oh, I forgot one. Sparc. bill
