I'd suggest taking a look at the FTDI FT245 chip, which is a parallel version of their FT232 USB/serial chip. There's a nifty little module that has a FT245, USB connector, and support circuitry all installed on a tiny DIP plugin PCB, perfect for prototyping or small production runs: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/EvaluationKits/UM245R.htm > More importantly, will they work on the new Intel Macs, and with >Parallels/Boot Camp?

I use Parallels (or a real PC) for PIC development, since as you say there are no Mac solutions. -- --- Chris Smolinski Black Cat Systems http://www.blackcatsystems.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
