No idea of Apple USB but I came across this: http://www.apcupsd.org/manual/USB_Configuration.html Apparently they are using the same approach to prevent Mac OS X from binding the kernel HID driver to the UPS (an HID device). The better way is of course that libhid could use the native API on different system like Windows and Mac OS X. It might be quite a bit of work though. Stephan has started the work to support Windows HID backend (as well as WinUSB) for libusb-win32 but it is not working yet.
