Thanks Andy. The networking option is the most attractive, but I'm not sure how difficult it will be to set up. I have pre-ordered a Uthernet II which may be the key to getting executable files built on OS X over to the GS quickly & easily. Though I'm not sure if the Uthernet II will come with transfer software or if that will need to be written.

Other transfer options I've heard about are standard serial connection (slow xfer), Appletalk (complex setup), and using a USB floppy drive to share a floppy disk between OS X & GS (slow xfer & manual process).

Does anybody have recent experience doing cross-development using any of these transfer methods?

Another possibility I'm curious about is a wifi-enabled compact-flash or USB flash drive on the GS being written to via wifi. Anybody tried that?

Thanks!
