iMate driver for OS X released
Griffin Technology, Inc. has posted a beta version of the iMate driver for OS X for their iMate USB to ADB adapter. The driver can be downloaded from Griffin's web site. The new driver supports all currently available ADB drivers including the Kensington Mouseworks driver for OS X. For the first time ever, ADB devices are completely hot pluggable as the iMate OS X driver loads custom ADB driver even when connected after startup. Under OS 9, ADB devices had to be attached during startup for custom ADB drivers to load. The driver also supports multiple iMates. You can now connect several iMates to a single machine and each will provides a separate ADB interface that can load custom drivers for any devices that are attached. This provides for the possibility of being able to connect over 800 ADB devices to a single computer.

With Quitling, you can terminate any application or background process from the comfort of your Dock, with or without its consent.

Quitling's AutoKill feature will keep Classic and those pesky alternate web browsers at bay. Running mail programs that you always want open? Server software that must be online at all times?
