[Robotgroup] Parallax on Parallels

[Robert Carter]

Hi everyone--

My Parallax USB-to-serial adapter arrived today, and I can now report  
that it is, repeat, IS possible to program a BS2 on a homework board  
using a MacBook Pro running a Windows emulator.

I also tried MacBS2, the Mac OSX-based editor (not supported by  
Parallax). No luck there. But hey, the Parallels thing works and I  
don't have to start scouring Craigslist for a cheap used PC-- pretty  
sweet!

Hardware specs:
MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo, 2.33 GHz, late 2006 model) running  
Windows XP Professional via Parallels Desktop (build 1970) and Basic  
Stamp Homework Board (2006),  connected with Parallax USB-to-232  
Serial -LF adapter (Parallax item 28030).

That's my contribution to our collective body of knowledge for the  
week. Hasta manana! No wait, it's after midnight. Hasta tardes!  -- R
