In <9323@sdcc6.ucsd.edu>, don bowmen asks about cross-development tools
for the Mac. Among his interests is the MCS 51 family...

Here's a source for a wide variety of cross-ASSEMBLERS for the Mac and
various microprocesssors:

I plan to purchase their assembler for the 8051 family.

They include a nice editor and basic terminal program for transferring
your compiled code to your EPROM programmer or whatever.

For those readers who have thought it would be interesting to build a
project involving a microprocessor, an easy way to get started is with
Intel's 8052AHBASIC chip, a $25 part that includes a microprocessor, serial
communications, EPROM programming ability, BASIC interpreter and built-in
timing functions. All you really need to program in BASIC is the chip, an
address latch chip ($0.79), some SRAM (cheap or scroungable) and a terminal
to talk to it. Add a few more components to program EPROMs, turn on your
lights, read keyboards, etc. Intel has a book out on the chip (order
#270010-003) with sample schematics and programming details. Lots of
potential fun.
