I am not familiar with our Mac software but downloading the MacAXEpad for PowerPC Mac .tar.gz file and inspecting that, it appears to include the 08M2 compiler, from which I would assume it supported the 08M2.
OT: I use Apple equipment almost exclusively ... except for PICAXE programming and testing. I have a 'throwdown' PC for PICAXE, and I kind of like it that way.
