best dev environment / tools for early Archimedes machines?

[garfield]

Hi all,

If you were to target the early Archimedes machines ( A305 to A5000 ) - what would you recommend for assembly dev tools / environment?
( presume that the goal would be to make a typical 1 MByte pure assembly ( with maybe some BASIC bootstrap ) computer game, that is compatible with RISC OS 2 and RISC OS 3. )

Are there native RISC OS editors / macro assemblers that you would suggest?
Or is BBC Basic with its inbuilt assembler the way to go?

Any ideas would be welcome. Cheers.

BASIC with ARMBE sufficed for me for a long time.
Zap with the Desktop C suite was where I ended up, via a short stint with DeskEdit.

I used the Acorn C compiler when I dabbled with some code for the A3000. The package contains an ARM assembler. https://www.4corn.co.uk/archive.php

I am pretty sure I used the release 5 and that ran OK on a 4MB A3000 with one of IanS's IDE interfaces.

Thanks all. I will poke around with these suggestions
