In Reply to: I-PAC programmabel, and Macs posted by JustinT on 3, 2000 at 6:56 PM:
The application is not open source at the moment since it is not even finished yet :)
I wrote it for Andy because I really wanted a pragrammable I-PAC. I would release the source as soon as it is finished to the public but I have traded the copyright to Andy for an I-PAC ;) so it is really up to Andy.
I am using a lot of old DOS tricks, especially in GUI mode, so a strait port to Mac is probably inpossible... I can make a simple command line util in assambler or C that could be ported to anything when the final version of the util is finished or I could help any one out that would like to make their own I-PAC programming app.
Best thing would be if Andy would release an open spec. of the programming protocol (witch is quite simple). Then could any one that want to make their own programming util...

: I can see that programmability is only available under Win/DOS for the I-PAC.
: Questions that come to mind:
: a) Can I use an emulator such as VirtualPC on a Mac, to configure the I-PAC (programwise)? has anyone tried this?
: b) Will there be a config application for Mac ever? Maybe Linux? :)
: c) Is the Dos?Win version of the config app Open Source? Maybe this could be ported by some Program-savvy Mac user.
