I recently changed over to the Mac as a platform at home (I was getting bored with Windows). I purchased Parallels with the hope of running QNX on it, but found that it wouldn't boot under it. I'd be interested in what Colin did to get things working under it. I tried VMware as well and found it unbearably slow. I'm also interested in your Mac hosted toolset approach. Dan,
