List-Id: The Unix Heritage Society mailing list Archived-At: List-Archive: List-Help: List-Owner: List-Post: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: From: segaloco via TUHS Reply-To: segaloco Hello everyone, I've found myself in the exceptionally fortunate circumstan= ce of securing ownership of a MAC-TUTOR BELLMAC-8 SBC unit. It is still in= shipment so I can't assess its operation yet, but I was wondering if anyon= e is aware of any surviving assemblers, linkers, etc. for this architecture= ? If not, I'm prepared to roll my own based on available documentation, bu= t figured I'd ask to see if there's anything I can start with. From what I= can tell, the main development environment was PWB, specifically the Bell = System internal varieties, with the BTL edition of Release 5.0 literature d= escribing things like m8as(1), m8cc(1), etc. as Division 452 Computer Cente= r standard commands. There is a bit of information here as well: http://ferretronix.com/march/sb= c/mactutor/ Thanks for any tips! Regardless of how much I can manage to do with it, I'= ll be sure to get some good pictures and take some notes on what I am able = to figure out with the thing. I presume the Gunkies wiki would be a good p= lace to document that sort of thing? - Matt G. P.S. Pardon if this belongs on COFF, I figured since UNIX was the canonical= development system and it is also a Bell Labs thing, I'd ask here first.
