I can't see it taking too long for Apple to release an update as even
the Apple supported firewire cameras will likely move to UDF 2.0, so I
will wait. But ... what is stopping someone from porting drivers from
other OSes and adding them in as "binary" drivers? Has this been tried?
This method would remove much of the worry about licences and provide
support for a lot of devices.

In order to "have at it" you would need to write entirely new drivers.
The apple versions are binary-only, just like they told you on the
OpenDarwin list. :-)

P.S. I would bet that a future release of Mac OS X will have support
for UDF 2, so your wait shouldn't be too long. On 29 Dec 2004, at

The driver model (IOKit) for darwin/OSX is sufficiently different from
other OSs that doing a simple port as you describe is anything but
simple. While a good chunk of the "logic" in each driver could be
ported over, all the code that hooks that logic into the OS would need
to be replaced with the IOKit framework. Easier said than done.
