Last night, after a nightmare journey thanks to SouthEastern/A Trespasser/Signal failure (take your pick), I managed to get a small application working on the Mac...

I'm using my old Mac on purpose, for starters it's 9 years old, so if it works on that, it should work on more recent Macs... Secondly, for anyone wanting to use it, picking up a nine year old Mac shouldn't cost too much... Thirdly, Apple include the developmemt environment for free. Lastly, Apple produce wireless keyboards and mice (and trackpads), so you can control the App remotely without wires getting in the way.

Now my intention is to make the App as independent as possible from the underlying protocol, so once I have support for the Z21, producing a version for another system should be easy. As the Z21 uses X-Bus as its basic protocol, Lenz support will be second... The extensions are to carry the wireless communications.

Let me work on this first, but if anyone has documents for other protocols and interfaces, then please let me know...

Just remember:

- MacSignalbox is intended to be a signalbox

- Driving trains is secondary
