There is no need to use a proxy server to connect a Macintosh with a Pic
programmer. I use MacPic with Picstart Plus, and I connect them by an
old modem cable having a Mini Din connector at one edge, and a 25 pin D
connector at the other edge, with a 25 to 9 pin adaptor connected to the
Picstart Plus; all works fine.
MacPIC is a very fine system, the sole which allows Mac users to use
Pics without dealing with M$ stuff, or emulators. Kevin Coble, who cares
its development, recently announced he will issue the first non-beta
release in the next future; he is also very quick in fixing errors
reported by users, so at present the product is rather stable. I use it
to program 17C44.
As to the operating system, I use the 68k version of MacPIC with a
Powerbook 190, OS 7.5, and the PowerPc version with a PowerMac G3, OS
8.5. Both work fine.
