I have very recently installed AUX 2.0 and so am just getting to
grips with it at the moment.
My understanding so far is that device drivers under AUX require a
Kernel part and a Mac part. The Kernel part needs to be configured
into the Kernel. One cannot just drop an INIT into the global system
folder and expect it to work as one can under pure MacOS. So as far as
third party devices are concerned (eg video cards, GPIB cards,
ethernet cards ...etc...) I seem to be dependent on them producing
AUX versions of their drivers.
First: Is my understanding correct?
Second: If my understanding is correct then; Is there available a list
of NuBus cards that have AUX drivers OR is it just a question of
badgering the appropriate company OR is it a question of writing ones
own device drivers?
I am particularly interested in video cards that work under AUX. Video
cards that have the functionality of the Colour Space Card or the
Moonraker card rather than a simple video card for driving a monitor.
If you do know of any cards that have AUX drivers now could you please let
me know. If there are sufficient responses and/or sufficient products with
AUX drivers I will summarise to the net.
Many Thanks
