All well and good, but as pointed out already, the driver I/O kit
from Apple is crucial. Apple doesn't have a very good record of this
so far with OSX. Lots of bells and whistles and aquafication, not
much support for anybody who is talking to a device. Go figure. We're
in the same boat with our product, which includes a PCI board.
Granted, there has been recent movement with the kit, but we were
asking about this a long time ago to Apple and mostly the response
was "yeah, yeah, whatever". You should definitely consider a
competitor's product when a solution isn't available, but make sure
you tell it to -Apple- ;-)
rant over.
