Well, not to put too fine a line on it, all modern PC's have a built-in
debugger. The Pentium has a built-in debug mode and brings the debug port
out on the pins. I don't know of any PC maker that includes a debug port
on the machine though. Check out products from Arium Corp (www.arium.com)
for cool tools that use this capability.
