I'm working in OSX with Cocoa and Caron.
My needs are:
1) find which devices are connected (practically only disks and
CDs) even if the disks are not inserted or the volumes are not
mounted;
2) detect a "disk inserted event" bypassing the Finder processes;
3) read and write to disks even if they're not mounted.
On OS9 I could check the driver queue, use ATA manager routines etc..
But on OSX? The IOKit procs seem not usefull in my case.
Do you have any idea?
You might have better luck asking those questions on the Carbon,
Cocoa, or Ata-scsi-dev lists, since they don't have anything to do
with networking.
