site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com thank you very much Justin the following code does the job { const char *computerSerialNumber = NULL; CFTypeRef CFComputerSerialNumber = NULL; io_object_t ioEntry; io_iterator_t ioIterator; kern_return_t kernResult; mach_port_t masterPort; kernResult = IOMasterPort(MACH_PORT_NULL, &masterPort); On May 21, 2005, at 4:10 PM, Justin Walker wrote: On May 21, 2005, at 8:52, Dmitry Markman wrote: Hi is it possible to access PROM data? specifically we need to obtain computer's serial number thanks Regards, Justin -- Justin C.

Digging through the source may help; I took a quick look (IOKitTools project), but nothing said "here I am" ;-/ This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
