mac-rom-simm-programmer.sof.../Read Me -- Mac OS X users.txt
Doug Brown 7a2bfdf2fc Removed dead code and added a Mac OS X read me file.
I had left some old code when I was changing the communication
scheme around, so I removed it. It was just commented out and
taking up space.

I also added a read me file for Mac OS X users to explain the USB
CDC modem popup message.

Important notice for Mac OS X users:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you first plug the programmer board into your computer, Mac OS X will
probably bring up a window telling you that a new network interface has been
detected. This message will perpetually annoy you unless you go into the
Network System Preferences and click "Apply" to add the programmer board as a
network interface.
The reason it does this is because the programmer board identifies itself to
computers as a USB CDC class modem, which is basically a serial port simulated
over USB that doesn't require drivers in Mac OS X and Linux. The drawback of
this approach is that Mac OS X thinks it is a modem.
