Title: New drivers for OS 9?
Post by: Roman323 on September 30, 2022, 08:16:51 PM

Hello,

I have been playing with this wonderful idea of being able to write low level driver support for USB 2 under OS 9 and also WPA encryption ? Given the G4 MDD FW800 supports airport extreme, is there a way using codewarrior to write new code for wireless N or even G to be supported + USB 2.0 support ? It would be cool if we can support USB 2 and better wireless encryption. What do you all think ? I would like to see an OS 9.2.3 or OS 9.2.4 support these.

Yes, there is a way. Before you start write code learn how to USB-chips works then learn how to extensions works in Mac OS 9.
When you hava done that plan what driver have to do in byte(/bit) level and I think there is programmers to help you after that.
