Have you seen this thread over at the vintage Mac google group?

http://groups.google.com/group/vintage-macs/browse_thread/thread/b0a72a522959bdcf/fde234bfaa875fc3#fde234bfaa875fc3

From the first post:

"I have been in contact with Bill Duvall, the developer and copyright

holder of the Consulair Development System (CDS). He has agreed to

allow me to freely distribute the software and associated

documentation to members of the vintage macintosh community. "

Cool

The only place I use assembly language is in 68k completion routines, and setting/saving the A5 world. My preferred tools are MPW which has an assembler and THINK C which has an inline assembler.

Once you use CFM the wrappers do all that stuff for you. Years ago (eg over 20 years) I used to prefer assembler for performance, but now I prefer portability.

Any updates on this? Some of the netnews posts said that he had successfully imaged the disks.
