    Just wondering is LG36 open on Saturday or Sunday? I have an assignment due for Monday and hoping I may be able to do some of it this weekend if I go in?

    From memory only;
    Not open on Sundays, but open Saturdays until early afternoon (4PM?).

    When you're looking up the steps to the Hamilton, it's the door on your left.

    Computers and "lunch-box" computers. For 1BA3 we do assembly language on them and upload the code onto the lunch-box computers, but that means that we can only test our codes for assignments etc on those computers too.

    Ugh, I remember when I was in first year there was an assignment due on the Monday, which I intended starting the Saturday/Sunday however labs closed all weekend.. Think it was that awful calculator thing...
    Needless to say it didn't get done too well.

    You don't need the lunchboxes unless you're doing something funky with trap commands or LCD.

    http://www.easy68k.com/ for all your 68k emulation needs. It's a million times easier to debug compared to the antiquated buggy rubbish on those lab machines.

    Oh and to answer your question I believe it SHOULD be open from 9-4 on Saturday and closed on Sundays but from what I remember you would have to go up to the security desk to get them to open it for you. As I said though if it's for a 68k assignment then just use the emulator.

    IINM, if you program works on the simmulator, doesn't mean it will work on the actual processor! It does some things differently that may cause a syntax error or an exception in the lab but not on the simulator.

    There are no major issues from what I remember; other than trap related issues and a slight variation in the expected program syntax in the Emulator. Obviously it's not a perfect replacement but it's better than not being able to do work because the labs don't open at weekends.
