Basically we have to fix things in the following order:
1. make dfu-util work so that we can flash the rootfs from a Mac
1b. write a GUI tool that presents the list of available flash files
and allows to download, cache and (re)flash them
2. update AJZaurusUSB (http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?
page=AJZaurusUSB) so that the OpenMoko is recognized (and no Apple
CDC Ethernet driver intervenes)
This is basically done (but not tested because step 1 is missing).
A short description is here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/
MacOS_X#USB or here http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?
showtopic=24467&hl=
3. find out how to configure ssh, SMB, Bluetooth etc. for more
sophisticated communication
4. find a better way to run OpenEmbedded natively on a Mac. I already
had started the MacOE project (http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?
page=MacOE) but did not yet succeed.

I know there are some MacOS users here. Let's get together and write

I know that Linux guys (geeks ;) very often use Macs since it's a
nice
and functional gadget. And I guess many of them would buy Neo1973
since it would be nice and functional ;) I think that after end-user
release there should be some solutions for connecting your Mac and
Neo.
Great! I will contribute as soon as I have my Neo...
Same here. I use a Mac pro for audio work so I can't use Linux as
it doesn't have the same quality software. I currently have the dev
environment running in Linux on Parallels desktop.
I have Bluetooth in the PC and I think this is how I'd connect the
two as I don't like cables. Would be nice to have a sort of easy
bluetooth activation method. Maybe have a sync option that enables
bluetooth then disables is after the sync.
