Re: testing tools

Hi,
If you are testing your hardware under Linux there is a command line debugger
available called Chipmunk from Delft University of Technology (URL ??).
A DOS utility called DBG is available from http://www.probo.com/html/dbg.htm.
Both utilities can be downloaded free of charge.
