[Ql-Users] gwass , SMSQmulator
Hi I am trying to relearn M68K assembler using the excellent book that was posted to this list. The problem I have now is that I can't get gwass to work. It starts ,but as soon as I try to do something (quit or assemble) it just hangs. I only have access to SMSQmulator right now, but it should work with that , right? Another question is which debugger / monitor I should use. Br Michael ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Michael, GWASS is great, but expects a 68020 CPU - I pretty much doubt that SMSQmulator is emulating one of those. (But that would somewhat hint that SMSQmulator advertises the wrong CPU, then?). It works well on QPC2 (which emulates kind of a 68010), though. There is a stripped-down GWASS version for 68000 CPUs, named GWASL. That one should work, also on the black box. The QMAC assembler, which used to be the standard assembler for professional software development back in the days, should also run on SMSQmulator (or rather, any QL) and is now free. With regards to a Monitor: ComputerOne Monitor is by far the best of the freely available ones, if you can get hold of a JMon or QMON copy (Jump from Tony Tebby) somewhere, those are great as well. C1M used to be available in a „professional version“ that could even do symbolic debugging, but that seems to be lost somehow(?). All of the above can be had from Dillwyn’s site.

Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and Win 8
A qxl.win file doesn't even have to be on a hard disk. When Roger Godley was doing his GD Xchange upgrade he sent me each of his updates on a small qxl.win file. I saved them to pen memory and then adjusted the QPC2 device list temporarily at runtime, I remember seeing a small QXL.WIN (1MB?) on a floppy disk, but can't remember if it could be used from a floppy disk or had to be copied to hard disk to work.

Re: [Ql-Users] gwass , SMSQmulator
I am trying to use C1M , but ends up in this: http://www.update.uu.se/~micken/c1m.png Perhaps I am missing something, do I need to do a specify a memory start address in the assembler source code? Sorry for the noise, but C1M is working , I just didn't update the REGS display.. I thought that would update after a go was issued. So good to go! This will be fun.
