AVR-Chat

Paul,

   That is what I do now - My Mac is WAY superior when I'm on the road, 
and I do all my electronic CAD there, multimedia, etc.  I have to use a 
Windoze box to work with my PIC and AVR tools - I'm trying to get it all 
with one box, and being widely frustrated with the total lack of value 
encompased in the Virtual PC program.  Sadly, I prolly can't get my 
money back on that worthless POS...  BUT if I can get AVRDUDE working on 
the OSX platform then I'm halfway there!


Grrrrrr,
DLC
