'97's paper on Rhapsody suggests easy I/O drivers - USB ? Richard can't help but feel AAPL is prepared to step up to a Win/98 delay , considering this Rhapsody I/O driver writing comment : " The core OS device drivers run in the kernel's address space and provide I/O services to both the blue and yellow boxes. They support true plug-and-play, have integrated power management, can be loaded and unloaded dynamically, and are modular and extensible. They are programmed using object-oriented techniques in Objective-C or C++ using the I/O Kit. Writing drivers is fairly easy. For example, Martin Minow of Apple reported that it only took him about three weeks to port the Copland SCSI driver to Rhapsody. He says that "it's easier than you think to write drivers." Take a few minutes and fully read this paper on Rhapsody from '97 : charlotte.at.nwu.edu Consider a year has passed - WWDC will be big , plus isn't Rhaposody planned for MacWorld July '98 ? There is no unrequited love between MSFT and AAPL . The State AGs also plan MSFT suits on free application code in an OS . Could this be why AAPL is charging for Quicktime and JUST Saturday updated its software agreement to keep it that way . If Rhapsody is like this paper portends , AAPL will have a higher PE soon .
