There are a number of options available for Mac based programming
solutions.  Aside from the use of a windows emulator on a Mac, native
assemblers are available and SERIAL programmers abound.

   To search for assemblers point your browser at "search.shareware.com"
and try the keyword assembler.  I also have a demo copy of 5Asm from
Micro Dialects and it appears to be a nice full featured assembler for
the Mac.

  Another site of interest is "www.access.ch/whoswho/showwho?rklingler".
I have not used any of the products pictured there but Mac based
assemblers and programmers are being offered.  Hope this helps.
