I recently went out looking for a driver for my USB device, a USB- RS232 adaptor, since MacOS X didn't support it out of the box. Using the vendor id and product id (0x2303 and 0x067b) as keyword searches I was able to find Mac compatible drivers for it. This is not the first time I have had to do something similar. In another scenario I actually looked at the chip-set to find a suitable driver. What struck me in this process is that there does not seem to be directory of vendor id and product id that is provided by MacOS X. This is a shame since some products that don't advertise themselves as being Mac compatible, are if you know what you should be checking for. Would it be feasible a) for Apple to compile a list, or at least provide one where people could add entries and b) for a tool to be provide to MacOS X to actually look up this information.
