How good is Small C on the SAM (which I would like to get a copy of)?
I've got a copy of Small C, however, as it contained two disk of the second disk I was never able to try it out. It did not have support for float and a few other bits and pieces. I have looked at sdcc and z88dk. Both seems promising, perhaps the latter is the better one, but the first with the most momentum? But as long as the libraries are available, any compiler should work. I for one would be interested in adding support for the SAM into one of these compilers. Anyone else - a cross compiler team? -Frode
