I would be interested in developing for one of the latest Rabbit modules, probably the wireless one. However, in my group, we got rid of all Windows machines; we are entirely on Mac or linux. I don't really love to hunt for a piece of spare hardware where I can install Windows; is there a version of the development tools that works on linux or mac?

Many thanks,

Luca

(Yes, I know, if this was a major industrial project I would buy some Windows machine, but I am not sure where what I am doing will lead, so I want to develop with the equipment I already have...)

I'm using my Macbook Pro to develop, but I use VMWare Fusion with XP loaded in the virtual machine. The USB cable connects fine. I have the
minicore RCM5700 development kit with ver 10 Dynamic C. Works great.

I am also using a MacBook Pro with VMWare version 2. It works well. With the previous version of VMWare, occasionally the USB port would hang, but that seems to be resolved now.
