\f0\b\fs24 \cf0 Welcome to DirectHW by coresystems GmbH\

\b0 \

\b ABOUT\

\b0 \
DirectHW is a software compatibility layer for Mac OS X. It provides a kernel driver and framework that emulates the most commonly used hardware access functions on x86 machines, such as:\
\
	\'95	iopl\
	\'95	inb, inw, inl, outb, outw, outl\
	\'95	rdmsr, wrmsr\
	\'95	mmap() of physical address space\
\
This package was originally intended to get the coreboot\'ae utilities running on Mac OS X. But you're encouraged to use it for many more opportunities.\
