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. Jim Gillogly jim@rand-unix {vortex, decvax}!randvax!jim -------
