Thanks for the great info. :) Where would be the best place to ask about OSX support?
I have a Mac and compiled NXJ without too much of an issue. When I ran a few of the sample programs, they seemed to run, but then the brick shut off after a few seconds. When I turned it back on, it went into firmware update mode. Is that supposed to happen?
