When I wrote the Linux 53c810 driver, the assembler was a DOS-only product (this may or may not still be the case). At the time, my job was maintaining a BASIC compiler, and writing an assembler in C was too close to work for comfort so I kludged one together in Perl. It's freely redistributable, and generates Symbios compatable structures (by default, it embmeds the source as comments so it's easy to match the instruction pointer address to a source line when an error is encountered). >Perhaps you could describe what exactly you are looking for in an >assembler and I could work on it for you. The assembler constitutes a fairly small part of the project. IIRC, I was fairly motivated when I wrote my driver, and got the first release out after about 80 hours. The assembler was done in an afternoon, and debugged after work the next day. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
