nikkpap Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hi to all i just found that if you edit the original AppleStorageDrivers.kext and the inside AppleUSBCardReader.kext you can probable have Generic Driver for your card reader too.... what i did was to copy the AppleStorageDrivers.kext to my desktop and right click on it and show package contents and edit again the AppleUSBCardReader.kext with show package contents and final i used a plist editor to edit the Info.plist (inside the AppleUSBCardReader.kext) so go to the IOPersonalities --> AppleUSBCardReader --> Physical Interconnect Location (Change it to External) and the Vendor Identification (Change it to Generic or what its on your System Report on the USB Section ) and in vender id and product id change it to yours but on in hex mode 0x2222 convert it to dec http://www.stringfunction.com/hex-decimal.html tested on mac os x lion 10.7.5 and previous 10.7.x Generic Card Reader.zip 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283177-diy-generic-driver-for-any-card-reader-by-nikkpap/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
giofrida Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Good! Does it work on unsupported SD Card Readers? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283177-diy-generic-driver-for-any-card-reader-by-nikkpap/#findComment-1856256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

giofrida Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 So this method should solve all the problems related to SD Card Readers. Nice! (I'll try it on my 6720s. The Reader isn't unsupported, but i want the SD Icon ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283177-diy-generic-driver-for-any-card-reader-by-nikkpap/#findComment-1856265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarein Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks for the great info nikkpap! I was even able to get my multislot card reader working using your method. Quite nice. To avoid editing system kexts, I made a plist-only kext that is just one of the IOKit personalities in AppleUSBCardReader with Internal replaced with External and the vendor/device IDs changed. I'm attaching it here in case anyone else might find it useful. Just change the idVendor and idProduct in Info.plist to match your card reader, place in /S/L/E and rebuild cache. This way you don't have to modify the original AppleUSBCardReader.kext.
