You might be interested in this talk from the creator of IDA, Ilfak Guilfanov, explaining how he used Sourcer and it's shortcomings lead directly to him creating IDA.
An interesting semi-abandonware static disassembler that was really good is Sourcer 8.01 from V-Communications. I think it supports Pentium II/Pro/III at most, which would include real, protected mode and long mode DOS/DOS extended/Win16/Win32 EXEs and COMs IIRC. It did a lot of memory typing and clever analysis long before IDA existed, and still interesting for retro computing.
