                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are NO cross compilers for micro-controllers ( ie 8051, 68hc11,
68hc05) for the MAC! I have been looking for over 3 years and have found NO
such thing.
 
I now have a pc and a cheap cross compiler for all of the above uP's.

I guess there is no money it.   ( there is no graphics on micro
controllers so MAC programmers don't know how to use it... ;-)  )
