Lyn, You can look at CocoaModem for PSK31. As a Mac user I'm sure you are aware of VirtualPC to simulate Windows. If you wait a little while you can get an Intel chip powered Mac and use the extremely easy, virtually virus, free Mac OS for some needs and boot into Windows XP to run ham software.
Clearly People will develope to reach the largest audience. It's a little unfortunate that they can't get together with a Mac programmer. If their PC application is written in VisualBasic, RealBasic for the Mac has a converter that might be able to use most the internal routines and just take a little tweaking of interface. If the routines were written in C, - at least at one time - you could pretty much port the C routines over directly and again, work on the interface. Now that Apple is touting Universal Binary for compatibilty, the development software choices is limited to...well just Apple's software I guess. Problem is, the price of development software puts it outside the finances of the hobbiest. I just bought a $50-$75 small form factor (thick pizza box style) Compaq Pentium II/III on an auction site - just for Ham software. I can close my eyes or leave the room as XP or Win98SE boots up, then forget about the OS and run all the Ham software I want. I'm careful to only do web seaches - until I trust the site - and recieve email via the Mac. The PC only ventures from running ham software to check for software updates for that software or post to a newsgroup. That avoids the cooties and keeps the system stable (ie, no games, no screen savers, no nothing except ham software and the Windows OS). Still, you'll want to learn to create a Restore point before any install. 73, Paul Need a Digital mode QSO?
