Hi all

I though I would share a solution to using an iMon USB LCD display on a Mac. This particular one was compiled on Leopard, but it might work on Tiger. The source is included. Attached is everything you need. The iMon usb driver was modified (by another individual - not me) to work on OS X and does not need the kernel driver as it is built into the iMon Driver. If it doesn't work for your iMon USB device, try changing the device id's in the server/drivers/imon.c file. I know this works on an Antec Fusion Case.

FYI. I am using Growl 0.7.6 (there is problems with the latest one under Leopard, and 0.7.6 works) and a program called GrowLCDproc to send Growl notifications to the LCD display. This is a really good solution.

The code attached is all open source and contains no proprietary or illegal code.
