| This text was copied from a Motorola catalogue from 1979 ———– TOTAL DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM The TDS is a complete development station including facilities for developing a hardware/software design. It consists of a M6800 based system with a full ASCII Keyboard, a 5″ CRT Monitor displaying 16 lines of 64 characters, an audio-cassette interface for mass storage capability and a medium speed printer (MPR) interface, assembled in a finished table top cabinet with power supplies. It does not require any other terminal. The TDS also include 8K byte or 16K byte of RAM and a ROM resident Editor/Assembler allowing development of M6800 source code programs. As an option, a ROM resident BASIC interpreter is also available, allowing the TDS to be used with this very widly known high level language. The resident debugging firmware, MINIBUG 3E, provides the TDS with the capability to insert up to eight software breakpoints and to perform the TRACE function, in addition to the standard LOAD, PUNCH, MEMORY CHANGE, GOTO and CONTINUE functions. The TDS has two spare slots, EXORciser/Micromodule compatible, allowing the user to add options like I/O interfaces, more memory and even a 2708 PROM Programmer (M68PPR1) |
