Psy-Q Development System
About Psy-Q
•• Psy-Q has been developed by Psygnosis and SN Systems, with many years of
experience of development software and developers' needs. Psy-Q represents the
next generation of development systems, backed up by a commitment to
continual enhancement, development and technical support.
•• Psy-Q includes 3 industry-standard Assemblers, a Linker and a Debugger. The
Assembler are extremely fast, and fully compatible with other popular
development systems. The Debugger offers an additional easy-to-use interface,
with full support for mouse and pop-down menus, and works in any DOS text
screen resolution or Windows.
•• Psy-Q offers Source Level Debugging. This allows you to step, trace, set
breakpoints, etc. in your original C or Assembler source code. The system
automatically, and invisibly, handles multiple text files.
•• Psy-Q has 'C' compiler support built in. The Linker can link directly to standard
COFF object files, as produced by the popular Sierra C compiler and many
others.
•• Psy-Q provides a high-speed genuine SCSI parallel link between Host PC and
target system, with a data transfer rate of over 1 Megabytes per second. The
system supports up to 7 connected target devices, and cable lengths of over 6
metres.
•• Psy-Q's Assemblers and Linker make full use of extended or expanded memory,
on PC compatibles with more than 640K of RAM.
