I'm using a Mac now to develop Atmel AVR 8 bit MCU 'c' code.  This is on a 
MacMini (OS 10.6.8).  Previously I did MC68HC11 assembly code.  I don't recall 
how far back, Mac wise, I went but it was at the latest a G4.

There are assemblers for a number of CPUs available that run under OSX.  

I like the Atmel as I can write in 'c' which is just a lot easier than assembly.

I have recently found an 8080 assembler I can use.  This will come in handy as 
I'm building an 8080 emulator (using an Atmel MCU). I am recreating the first 
computer I built, 35 years ago.  The MCU I'm using has 128 KBytes of flash and 
32 KBytes of Ram, quite a bit more than the 1K EEPROM AND 4K of RAM.  The RAM 
card was made from 32 1Kbit chips and I wired all of it by hand.
