Rjp663 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I recall from my Apple II days that several programs, or firmware allowed you to inspect the contents of memory. Does that capability exist for the Macintosh 68k family? thank you, Rick Edited November 11, 2020 by Rjp663 Mistakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Macsbug is the thing you are probably looking for here. There are other options (I've seen people speak very highly of TMON) but Macsbug is easy to get hold of and a number of people here seem to have some expertise in how to use it. That's not me, by the way; I'm a very basic user. I'm thinking of people like @Crutch . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter Crutch Posted November 11, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Yes indeed - I’ve never used TMON but keep meaning to play around with it. But you can certainly do that with Macsbug on all versions of 68k Macs. Install Macsbug, press the programmer’s switch or (on some machines) Command-Power, and try the HD (heap dump), DM (display memory), or IL (instruction list, i.e. disassembler) commands depending on what you want to do.
