<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone done this before? Building a compiled
program, loading it byte by byte into memory, and then doing Run UUT? I was
playing around with this last night, but I couldn't get it to work. (6809E based
system). Could be lots of things at this point, and I'm going to review the
Troubleshooter documentation, but I thought I'd ask. Talk of testing RAMs made
me think to try a few tests to see how easy it would be to build a "fast RAM"
tester. I just took a snippet of code from the Qix self-test and wanted to run a
modified version of that. However, even a simple test where I'm writing to a
specific address did not seem to work. Been a looong time since I wrote
assembly, and I've never had to bother looking at the generated op codes! The
code was relocatable code.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On a related note, it appears that it's possible to
write some z80 code that could be executed by the 9010A base unit. You can't use
the Fluke compiler, however, because you'd need to have a slightly different
record structure for the program. This is part of the reason that I was asking
about interest level in a new compiler. That, and the fact that there are gaps
in the programming language that might be easy to fill.</FONT></DIV>
