Rick, Now that's what I'm talking about. What linux command-line tool you working with? I'm on OSX, and I am a long time linux user (over 4 years), and use it from work to play. I also run the excellent OroborOSX/Xdarwin environment for linux gui applications, and Fink runs great also, so I may start scoping out to see how well they run. On another osx box (imac), I'm using a g3 stealth port, and it shows up as a regular serial device, so I might get another like that, or a usb/serial thingy. I also have a fairly easy time getting out the hex code, but using mpasm in virtual pc, it all seems to work well, even the simulation environment. But I could as easily look at a gui linux tool, not real keen on a cli environment (although uploading the hex file with cli would be ok). I guess the last piece is to get a usb to serial port device, and get a new programmer, probably a warp-13a. I'm off to search for the best rs232 device for a usb mac now, and will order the warp13a probably very soon.
