Mike,

thanks for the link.
I'd tried a lot of this, though never used the XCode, so thats nice to know.
My problem is, I could never get UISP to talk with the USB->Serial convertor
I bought (A Key span one) and then the AVR-ISP that I use..

I now run VPC7, and CV-AVR.

I tried that, had no end of hassle, but I'm new to open source work.

its beautiful...
Drag and drop from OSX desktop to windows desktop, shared resources, etc...
and its pretty smooth.

well, VPC7 won't win any speed awards, but its fast enough to run OrCAD and
CV-AVR without being annoying.

He had apparently came up with a programming solution using an external
USB breakout box.  I thought avrdude was supposed to work too, maybe Brian
could answer that...

I did get avarice to build finally, but I haven't tried it yet.

FWIW, I once ran PC-Ditto on an Atari ST.  Talking about slow...

Works fine - I use a PowerMac dual G5 for the bulk of my AVR work, so
I can say with confidence that it works very well :-)

That, too.
