Apple still says that for serious developers that Using MPW with the Mac 
Programing languages to develop GS software is still the best way.  And after 
seeing them put together some software to run a device off the SCSI at
Kansasfest I'm afraid I'll have to agree.  Using a IICi or IIFX Mac and
a GS hung on over AppleTalk or serially connected for testing really can't 
be beat.

Yes and working through MPW you can do development for both system at once
