- As far as I know (from reliable sources, I think) the DIBUG is restricted
- code and the protocol (which is binary) it uses with the PC program is
- confidential. You could probably get a copy of it if you swear a non-
- disclosure agreement.
-
- The BCCDI is not in production any more anyway, so it doesn't seem to be
- likely that they will do anything about it.
-
- This is all pure and lean brain damage from Motorola's part in my opinion.
- It's no big deal releasing software soources, especially when the DI is in
- the Evaluation Kit.
-
- The problem with Motorola and Software they produce is it doesn't happen
- on this particular instance only. I hate to see that much work trashed
- and people who could experience a good deal of development and could have
- a lot of work shared wasting time. It's just not a fruitful environment
- what Motorola does. They are interested in consumer products AND they
- are not "a software company." .... ntchs! ... I'm refraining myself ...
