USB-MSD firmware loading and MAC OS X compatibiity

[mark]

Hi All

USB-MSD firmware loading has proven to be a very popular method for loading embedded firmware for a number or reasons, not least due to its cross-platform driverless capability.

However the OS manufacturers (Windows 8.1, MAC OS X) have been making life rather complicated with new behavior when external hard drives are connected.

The story behind the MAC OS X compatibility development in the uTasker serial loader is recorded here:
