Environment on a Mac
2006-03-11 by Michael A. Firman
In anticipation of this new project and to finally implement a strategy for getting
rid of my antique Windows NT machine by the workbench, I ordered VirtualPC7
(with WindowsXP). Tonight it arrived and I installed it on my G5 iMac (running OSX
10.4.5). A while ago I bought a Keyspan High Speed USB serial adapter (USA-19HS)
for this purpose.
I loaded everything on the Mac, plugged in the Keyspan and downloaded both the
Mac and XP drivers for it and after a little (actually surprisingly little) futsing around
copying files and loading BasicATOMPro onto my virtual Windows machine I was up
and running with my new cross-development platform. It works great! In general
some things run a bit slow in the Virtual World, but BasicATOMPro runs fine and
the download work well and as fast, if not faster, than on my old PC.
I can do PSIM/<Fill in New Device Name Here> development on my Mac!!!!!!!
