    The Atari home computer division had a Data General “eagle” Mv/8000 mini computer it used to assemble code it wrote for its 8-bit line. The CAMAC was a port of the macro assembler on the atari 8-bit in the spirit of Apple Rosetta. This of course was much much faster than assembling on 8bit machines directly and being able to share work with other programmers.

    Amazing to see this back from the dead. Also of note is the DG MV/8000 emulator being available. This machine was the focus of the book _The Soul of a New Machine_. Hope I can post on that later.
