Another company offers OS X drivers but they are more of a commercial company so they charge $100 for it. Is there any way to make the drivers work on OS X? Porting in darwin or terminal? The drivers are for a touch panel in a PC tablet.

Any ideas? Please help!!

Sure if you have the source code and can program in C++ then it should be possible to port it to OS X using the IO Kit framework.

Would I need the source from the company that sells it for money (for OSX) or from the original company which gives it for free for Windows and Linux?

I can program in C++(its been a while, but would refresh myself). I have Xcode and developer tools on my system, but what is IO Kit framework? Any links or Tuts?

Thanks for the help.

So I found the IO Kit. http://developer.apple.com/document...mentals/Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html

Could anyone give a brief description/overview on the process involved.
