Pls do reply back.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Sivaram,

For OS 9.2.x, Apple provided a USB Audio class driver. At the time, the Video Class specification was not complete and no Apple USB video class driver was developed for OS 9. What you want to implement are vendor specific drivers to support specific devices of your choosing.

the feasibility for developing a driver for 9 is very low. In fact it's nonexistent, if you have to ask the question. There is no sample code for either type of driver and the source code for the Apple USB Audio driver is not available. You could download the source code for the OS X Audio class driver, however, the driver for 9 is entirely different.

For 9, most if not all of the video drivers were developed by a handful of developers who licensed their code to USB video class device vendors. A couple of these developers are on this list and can respond to you privately.

Wish I had better news for you.
