Carbon


Device Manager

Carbon does not support the Device Manager as an interface for installing or interacting with device drivers.

Carbon supports only the Device Manager APIs that allow applications to read and write to open files.

Other software products that have relied on the Device Manager interface in the past (such as desk accessories)

should be converted into Carbon applications.

Note: The Serial Driver will be supported through a new set of functions similar to PBOpen, PBControl, PBStatus, etc., but specific to serial communication.
