[Ham-Mac] How to create a device driver???

[Michael Carter]

Unless it's a common HID-type device (keyboard, etc), you're going to  
need a specific driver written to handle data correctly.

I've written Mac USB drivers in the past, and I've always been lucky  
to have access to the report and element info from the dev who wrote  
the firmware. That coupled with a good understanding of IOKit and  
it's not so bad. :)

Oh, it's kinda nice to actually have the gear as well. :)

Hmmm....I've been looking at the 897D seriously, too...
