v620asm

A DAS-compatible cross assembler for the Varian 620/L computer

By Dave McGuire

v620asm runs on modern computers and generates executable code for the Varian 620/L, a 16-bit minicomputer from 1973. The original Varian assemblers for this architecture appear to have been lost.

v620asm's input format is compatible with that the DAS family of assemblers from Varian.

v620asm output has not yet been tested on actual Varian hardware, but it has been used successfully for Varian 620/L software projects using our v620emu emulator.

v620asm builds and runs on recent Linux and MacOS X distributions. Download the source code using the button below.

Support files for emacs, vim and kate editors are included in the source distribution. These provide syntax highlighting and formatting assistance for writing v620asm code.
