Strangely, after all this playing UIP-tool suddenly and inexplicably can now ready the MAC address of the device reliably rather than getting all zeros! This is without touching or reseating the NetUSBee in the ROM port.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

From the comments in the code, it's not a plug-in replacement at the assembler level if you want to link in external assembler routines.
Could you point to that? I switched an assembler project from TurboC assembler to PureC assembler (alongside with a small C project), and it was like changing 1 or 2 non-CPU-keywords (assembler reserved words, like "EVEN" or something like that)

In the end it was a lot simpler than the code documentation suggested. It was mostly changing "TC" to "PC" in the makefile!

Okay, so I’d conclude again, that PureC is a drop-in replacement for TurboC, for both C and its assembler. And PureProfiler’s been a great help for me, btw.

No wonder, given that PureC is basically the same code base, i.e. TurboC's successor. Borland -- for some reason -- lost interest in Turbo C for the Atari ST, however, the code and the rights to develop it further were given/sold to Pure Software.

German article about that -- Google Translate does a reasonable job translating it to English: http://www.stcarchiv.de/stm1991/11/pure-c
