A co-worker has some old but possibly useful equipment available. He has
some hardware debuggers that install as ISA cards into a standard PC.
One is for 286's and one is for the 8088. They send data out to a serial
port and also have a handheld switch that can be used to step through
code.
According to him they've saved hours of debugging time and even allowed
him to find a few bugs in DOS. They can watch memory locations and halt
when they change, and so forth. He's got the manuals as well as whatever
supporting equipment and software they came with.
As provided, they do require DOS to initialize them but this is basically
uploading a firmware image to the card on boot. It shouldn't be terribly
hard to port something like that to ELKS.
He's not looking for outrageous profit or anything. He just doesn't have
any use for them anymore and he'd rather not throw them away. We're
located in Michigan, USA, northwest of Detroit. I'd imagine anyone who
wants them would have to pay shipping.
If anyone's interested, send me an offer and I'll pass them along.
Sincerely,
Ray Ingles (248) 377-7735 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
