Another time: any clues? and/or usefull start point ? 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.
