Re: Is MPLAB mac compatible
Not natively. You might be able to make it work under an emulator.

Does the Mac even have a serial port, or would an adapter be necessary?

Edit: Some searching of the ChiefDelphi archives yielded this, which suggests that Virtual PC under OS 10 with a USB to RS-232 adapter can be made to work. Virtual PC is not free software.

Edit: Reading the original post once more, I'm wondering if you just need a C IDE. Do you plan to actually download code, or merely want to familiarize them with what works in C (but not necessarily on the PIC)?
