Firstly it is better that you start a new thread for this. > Since you are indeed very knowledgeable on the subject and seem to be a > great Mac Fan, tell me: I am not really that a Mac Fan, actually I am rather OS neutral since I am quite okay with Windows and Linux as well. In fact, I think Mac OS X is nice but I use it very similar to my use of Linux, other than a few GUI program (web browser, etc), I use the terminal for my testing of libusb related program. The paid work is always done under Windows (XP and Win 7) and I do not have much problems with Windows since XP time. I do like Apple hardware and at home we have an iPad 2, an iPad Mini, a Mac Mini and an Apple TV. On the other hand, at home we have 4 other Windows machine (two in active use) and 2 Android phones and an Android tablet as well. iOS and Android are both limited compared to full-fledged desktop OS but that is why they are made for, for content consumption. > is technically feasible to implement what is described here > https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/ClassicUSBDeviceArb.html This is talking about Classic and OS X. I think it does not apply any more since Classic is removed since OS X 10.5. It is not available to Intel based Mac either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X "Classic is not supported on Intel-based Macs or in Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard'". > on the Mac as the Linux equivalent > libusb_detach_kernel_driver/libusb_attach_kernel_driver? > > I know all about the kext approach but it is NOT an option for my > application. Unfortunately the codeless kext is the only way as per Apple engineers.
