Actually, HiSoft's DevPac supports the output of _absolute_ code ( i.e.
code ORG'd to a specific adress, such as you need for ROM-able code ),
hence with the list-to-disk option turned on it will do what is required.

I'm pretty certain a few other proper Assembler development systems
do too ... like it's very handy both for cross-development for embedded
systems, and also I guess for games that take the hardware over directly
and hence don't use the AmigaDOS code loader/relocator.
