Hi,
Hi jens,
I just bought a PCI card, which contains 1 parallel interface (DB25) and
2 serial interfaces (DB9).
My plan is to program a PIC-controller, so I took the chance that I could
find a driver for Mac OS X, even though card-package didn't tell me
anything else than support for 7 different Windows platforms (?!??)
Now, I took a look at Apple System Profiler, and I noticed
"Apple16X50Serial.kext 1.0.5 27 Jul 2002 10:42 PM (No description)
It appears that I'm in luck (if my guess is right), and I got the driver.
It seems to be a standard UART. Google for UART and 16550. You find lots of
information about the chip.
Now.. When looking in the Network panel in System Preferences, I didn't
see the new hardware, so I believe I have to do something myself as well.
(In fact, this is good news, because I don't like that anyone else is
taking over my port. ;))
It's serial device, not a network device.
-So my question is: Where do I go from here ?
If it's of any help, the brand of the card is "Sandberg"; it's a danish
manufacturer, so you probably didn't hear about them yet.
IOKit is your friend. Read about it.
You can get the sources for Apple16X50Serial from the Apple Darwin site.
Maybe IOSerialfamily is also interesting.
I'm planning on releasing the PIC programmer for free with source, when I'
m done, just so that other people can enjoy it. ;)
Nice to hear. Please drop a mail if it is ready.
Love,
Jens
