Assemblers

[Loismustdie129]

I know this will sound odd but I need a good assembler for assembly language, does anyone know any. I have tried as86 but I didn't really understand it and it didn't work out. So anyone know any other than these.

Which OS?

For Windows, I recommend either Masm, or Fasm; although there is another up and comer but a little more complicated to get to.

For Linux, there is As/Gas but Fasm will work there, too.

For hobby projects there are microcontrolers like the 68HC11 that have everything on one chip (serial port, memory, etc). I find Motorola assembler much easier than Intel, anyway. Besides, I wrote the assembler (actually an entire IDE) that I use for the 68HC11 as my first Python project.

Sorry everyone.

I have to move this out of the cafe. I'll put it in Miscellaneous Discussions for now.
