I have not updated to OSX 10.6 and wanted to know if anyone has tested the Mac BS2 program on 10.6. Does it work, any issues?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I am a very light user of Mac BS2, the little bit that I have used it, it has worked just fine.

    I'm still trying to work out my set up without much success I'm afraid.

    I use the Parallax BOE with an BS2 and a USB Cable. I purchased the Parallax Basic Stamp Discovery Kit (USB Version) and I power it with a 9v DC converter.

    In as much as the setup can now positively detect the module, I get a 'module is not responding, check power' report.

    I'm getting a bit frustrated. =)

    You didn't say what you were trying to do with your BOE or what was connected to it. Usually 9V power adapters (and 9V batteries) are underpowered for almost any use. Make sure your power source is good for several hundred mA. I would recommend using a 6V to 7.5V AC adapter rated for at least 300mA. If you're going to work with servos or other motors, use a 6V adapter rated for at least 1A.
