Low Cost Emulators for the MCS-96 Products

In the past, In-Circuit Emulations of single chip microcontrollers were accomplished by expensive emulators with elaborate development computers as drivers. This is no longer true with intelligent hardware design and the introduction of the Personal Computer (PC). This paper discusses two emulation tools for the MCS-96 family of 16-bit microcontrollers using a PC as it's host computer and minimal hardware design for almost a nonintrusive emulation tool for under $500.
