I've never used an Apple system, but I have the impression that only a subset of third-party hardware is compatible. Is that accurate? I've perhaps deduced incorrectly from the number of one-star Amazon reviews that decry 'lack of Apple drivers'.
To me that would be frustrating since there are only two parties that can resolve such an issue ( Apple and the vendor ) rather than in OSS world where there's a chance of reverse-engineering a driver.
- pdpi 12y agoThis might or might not be an issue. Personally, I've never encountered it.
- halostatue 12y agoI suspect that it’s accurate to a point. Most of the hardware that I use is also limited and/or works through reasonably well-defined interfaces. I’m a software guy, so I’m mostly not trying to plug in hardware that does fancy things. (I will note that it works just fine with the MicroView Arduino I backed on Kickstarter.)
