Is there a usable version of pbForth for Mac OS X and the USB tower?
I have NQC, so there should be no trouble downloading firmware, and Mac OS X has
good terminal software, but how do I set up things so that terminal
communication goes via the USB connection to the tower.  Is there a mode in NQC
that will allow it to act as a terminal for pbForth?

I think John Hansen actually made a pbForth terminal in NQC. My RCXTcl
works on a PC, but I never did get around to packaging it for Macs.

Probably because I don't have one myself :-)

That being said, once you have a terminal program to talk to the USB
tower, then a Mac is fine for development. You're just sending ASCII
files - the RCX does the compiling.

Cheers, Ralph
