TL866 firmware updater macOS support

I own a TL866CS IC programmer. Wonderful device - I truly recommend it (and I assume its successor is even better). It’s been known for many years that the company who made them had one hardware revision, and limited the CS revision compared to the A revision purely in firmware. That limitation has of course been hacked for almost as long as the device has existed. Someone going by the name “radioman” detailed many years ago how the bootloader could be reflashed from CS version to A, after which the original software and firmware updates will see the device as the A model in all aspects.

Hatari macOS nightly builds

update 20-07-20: Since a few weeks back I no longer use any macOS systems, being Linux only nowadays. Because of that I feel that I can no longer keep this service running, due to not being able to verify that things are working or being able to quickly correct them when they’re not. Hopefully the Hatari project can in time setup automatic CI pipelines for macOS too. For a few years now I’ve helped out the excellent Hatari Atari 16/32 bit emulator project with macOS builds.
