25       on your Mac OS X root partition.
26
27       There is several version of this driver depending on driver version or
28       host architecture (PowerPC or x86). Thus, ift-extract must determine
29       know the variant of the driver in order to properly extract the
30       firmware.

32       Any AppleUSBVideoSupport file starting with those shipped with iMac G5
33       iSight must work. If not, please report unknown AppleUSBVideoSupport at
34       bugreport mail address with machine type and OS X version.
