Now that we have a goal in sight (bringing up BigMac in timely fashion), I thought
we should formalize and agree on how we are to reach this goal. I see it as a four stage
process. First is of course, the delivery of the breadboard machine on or about 8/15 to the
software group. Second stage is to get some kind of debugging environment in the
machine. Third is to download our version of The ROM into ram and get as much of it
working as we can andlor as is necessary to boot. The last stage is to get the machine to
boot up and hopefully run an application.
I propose that we try to use the MacDB debugger from the MDS system. This
debugger uses a Mac as a very intelligent terminal talking to a small monitor
