Development Utilities


Assembler

You need an assembler to convert your assembly code into actual Z80 instructions. The best one, in my experience, is Assembly Studio. On-site I have available for download Assembly Studio 86 v3.1, which assembles specifically for the TI-86. You can also go to the Assembly Studio website and download other versions. (Note: I haven't been able to connect to this site, so I don't know if they're even still around.)

One of the greatest things about Assembly Studio 86 is that it's not only an assembler, but also an IDE, so it makes editing the code a bit nicer, maybe even a little easier. I highly recommend this if you're developing for an 86.


Miscellaneous

I also have available on-site the set of Include files that I obtained from ti-calc.org. Unzip these into the include directory for your assembler, and then you're ready to start using them. They contain standard ROM equates for different models and a few other things. It's a must for any serious developer, and it's only about 60k.


Please feel free to send me any questions/comments/links/etc you may have. I'll try to respond to everyone's email A.S.A.P., but occasionally I get really busy.
