Yeah, I was kind of surprised how easy it was to get a basic dev setup going (especially with the precompiled binaries). Maybe 30 minutes including downloading stuff and compiling KOS and dc-tool, and I was uploading 2ndmix to my DC. > I had used a coder's cable for a while and would upload files to > Marcus's serial slave with ZTerm.

I think there are still issues with that d_off thing, which I'm planning to finish working out. I think dc-load/dc-tool need a new release before too long anyway because there are some bugs and features that need fixing/adding, like some occasional network hiccups, reading the IP address from the flash, etc. > Yes, you need a serial/USB adaptor to use a coder's cable. > Unfortunately there don't seem to be very many around that work with OS > X, unless I'm just not looking in the right places.

My question was kind of purposefully ambiguous because what I have here is a beige G3 with old Apple serial ports plus a USB PCI card. USB would be a better long term solution though. > Interestingly enough, there seems to be some interest in using > Objective-C with KOS.

Yeah, I think that's way cool. I played with ObjC a little before and I have to admit that while I don't like the syntax too much, I think it's an incredibly awesome tool. |
