how do you use osx to program the chip?  i am stuck in the windows vm to
do that?

i think you mean talking to the serial once programmed.  makes sense.

as there are multiple instances of toolruns, it helps in those
circumstances

no dialog appears

but that page was the big clue!  i haz driver.  and programming was
successful.
