Mass Storage Device Compliance

Apple provides mass storage device drivers in the transport driver layer that support various device specifications. In order for your device to work with these drivers, it must comply with the appropriate specifications. This chapter describes device compliance and lists the logical unit and protocol services drivers Apple provides.

The concept of device compliance has no meaning in the device services layer. The generic block storage driver treats the device as a storage space and media filter-scheme drivers work with media present in the device; neither makes any assumptions about underlying transport specifications or implementation. For more information about how to develop your own filter-scheme driver, see “Filter-Scheme Driver Matching” and “Developing a Filter Scheme.”
