I suspect by the end of the day I'll have figured out a way around these problems and actually program and verify a device from OpenBSD or Linux. I may need to add a fast serial card to the OpenBSD box as it's serial ports are old slow ones. The other thing I need to work on is reverse engineering the hex file produced by the c2c compiler. When both of those are taken care of I'll be able to work fully under UNIX and forget about Windows. I'll even be able to work in C rather than assembly.
Buzzwords are like annoying little flies that deserve to be swatted.
