  We can add a .cfg file for it later. For now use the HUB board type.

  That's a good idea, icepuck. We have many customers who would simply use the S2 if it were programmable on a Mac, and this is one way to achieve that goal even if without the GUI.
  
  Might be an interesting included board type - the S2 has sensors and I/O devices not present on other Parallax boards. This could ease the programming for many, though. Andy has provided some very easy (yeah, I can understand) examples for the Propeller Boe-Bot that will soon show up on Learn.parallax.com. These examples would make programming the S2 very easy in code, even for those who are only familiar with the S2 GUI.
  
  And what we'd do for a Mac-compatible S2 GUI right now. . . .

  Hi Phil,
  
  Issue tracking: http://code.google.com/p/propgcc/issues/detail?id=54
  
  For the time being users should specify the HYDRA board type because of the 10MHz crystal.
  
  Backpack has a single 64KB eeprom, so it's set for XMMC unless you prefer to disable that.
  
  S2 uses 2 32KB eeproms rather than a single 64KB part, so unless someone is willing to modify the eeprom_cache.spin PASM driver, S2 will not support XMMC.
  
  Also we don't have any S2 or Backpack boards. You will need to do some QA for us before release.
  
  Thanks,
  --Steve
