   Excellent.  I used to use a Windows emulator to program PIC and 
Philips 89C66x-series microcontrollers, but I have software to do that 
under unix now.  Now I don't touch windows *at all*.

   MacOS X and IRIX on my desktop (though I'm only using IRIX for EDA 
stuff now), NetBSD/alpha, NetBSD/sparc, NetBSD/sparc64, Solaris (8 and 
9) in the computer room.
No Unicos machines running at the moment, sadly.  And I still haven't 
gotten the time to cut myself a 2.11BSD system disk for any of the 
PDP11s but I hope to do that soon.
