There is nothing preventing you from working with USB in Cocoa. In
Cocoa you gave access to all CF routines (many are "toll-free
bridged") and you can always stick any C and C++ in .mm files. I've
done this sort of thing before and it is no big deal.
Of course, with any USB using thinkg in IOKit make sure you are
doing the right things with RunLoops and whatnot. It has been a few
months since I wrote any USB stuff, but the examples were good last
time I checked.

There is a sample program called USBSimpleExample that shows how to interact
with a USB device from user space. It uses with CoreFoundation.framework
and IOKit.framework and is a command line tool. I would like to put a UI on
it using Cocoa. Would I be shoveling against the tide if I attempt this
project?
What I am trying to do is get something running that will allow me to use my
Umax Astra 1220U scanner from OS X. I have the Astra command set.
Any thoughts or suggestions from you wizards out there?

BTW, I do not want to write a kernel level driver.
