MacPIC ought to work fine on a Classic II.  I used to run it on a Mac
Plus with system 6.  Just make sure that you found the 68K version, not
the PPC.  Runs fine on my Performa with system 7.  Problem is that
MacPic is VERY old-- newest PIC it can handle is 16F84.  The writer of
MacPic has dropped off the net, apparently. I never found anything  for
a Mac that would assemble for a 16F628.

The Deck programmer mentioned in the MacPIC docs is also no longer in
existence--Francis Deck dropped it off his web page a long ways back.
I'm not sure about the others, but I think that they're still supported.
  Note that serial programmers, once you make the adapter cable, don't
care about platform

You'll probably be better off getting an old Windows box with at least
Win95 on it and using MPLAB.  You sure as heck don't need P4 speed to
use that.  I got an old Gateway laptop for a song that works just great,
even though it's "only" 133 MHz.

Regards,
Doug
