Paul Weiss asked for info on the Professional Debug Facility (part no.
6024143), announced recently by IBM.  Here's an excerpt from their Aug 84
announcement:
-------
Professional Debug Facility consists of two utilities and a hardware card:

o  Resident Debug Tool (RDT) is interactive full-screen debug facility; traces
   and disassembles code inaccessible to DOS DEBUG.  Can be loaded
   into memory and run from keyboard or batch file, or run by pushing a
   button on the card.

o  Disk repair: full-screen access to the whole disk (DOS-formatted fixed
   disks and floppies), r/w any byte in hex or ascii.

o  Non-maskable Interrupt Card lets user gain control of a hung program.
   Plugs into IBM PC, XT, or Portable (doesn't specify AT, although the AT
   was announced the same day).

There's a good deal more info on the data sheet, but I'll save that unless
you need it.  It's dated August 1984, but delivery date is not specified.
I don't know if it's available yet.
