important caveats

This version of MacBS2 is a work in progress, and as such, it is incomplete and probably buggy. Here's a partial list of things that are missing.

  • No support for slots

Another thing to look out for is that Apple's FTDI driver can't reset a BASIC Stamp. You'll need to download the latest driver from FTDI.
