I'd check out wisp628 from http://www.voti.nl/wisp628/index.html and
xwisp2 http://www.robh.nl . Any other "intelligent" programmer that
uses a real rs232 transmission or usb will do. If you got the
appropriate linux software of course. Programmers that toggle the
handshake lines like JDM will not work with usb adapters.
Although I use Mac OS X I can tell you PICing shouldn't be a problem
with linux ppc. Besides, all the tool ran first on linux. The PPC
architecture problem with xwisp2 we've already figured out. So go
ahead and get your iBook. Maybe you also wanna give Mac OS X a shot ;)
Cheers,
Ezra.
