I worked with the Intel i960CA parts and the i960MX parts, while working for Applied Microsystems Corporation (now defunct.) Applied made high-end in-circuit emulators. My team worked on software for execution trace disassemblers. We had wide and deep memories and could record something like 16,384 bus cycles in emulator (trace) memory. Once we had some bus cycles to analyze, we’d sort out what the processor had done when it ran (an execution trace) and show it. It was a great tool for answering questions like “How did I get here?” when your embedded code jumped off into the weeds. The i960CA was relatively simple to work with. The i960MX was a lot more complicated, as I recall.
