I don't remember if it was on this list, but I did write up a short
list of what it would take to get osx drivers running, at it's pretty
extensive. It might be easier to get an x86 emulator running enough
to use the windows driver and the vxd wrapper hack.
The problem is that osx has a lot of support code built into the
kernel that gets used by every driver. It's nice for the person
writing the driver, but a pain for someone trying to emulate it.
