You could try the Handyboard, from the guys at MIT. They have an
environment called Interactive C which has a Mac version. Total kit cost
about $150 to $200 US. It's based on a 68HC11. Check out their Web page,
use Yahoo to look up Handyboard. The interactive C is an interpretive C
compiler environment. It's a bit more powerful than a Basic Stamp.
Good luck. Email me if you can't find the Web page.
