new to Mac OS X.
Does Cubase Mac support ASIO drivers, or CoreAudio2Asio only?

If it supports ASIO drivers directly, where are the located, where does cubase look for ASIO drivers?
I want to develop a Windows AND Mac ASIO driver, which supports direct monitoring and streaming via Copperlan on both Platforms.

I'd say you're a bit too uninformed for someone who wants to develop drivers. Read up on CoreAudio. Your XCode installation has all documentation under the Help menu.

I do NOT intend to develop a CoreAudio driver.
I intend to develop an ASIO driver, using the Asio sdk, as I already did on Windows.

Its just that Im new to Macs. If Cubase Mac Supports Mac ASIO drivers directly, I use the ASIO sdk to drive the Copperlan logic, like on windows.

Having an ASIO driver on OSX makes no sense. It will introduce large amounts of latency. Perhaps a wrapper or translator may be better. I still think youll be battling latency. Maybe this will help :

Programs don't use drivers directly under OSX. It all runs via CoreAudio. Cubase won't search for drivers, and recognize anything else than CoreAudio. The only possiblity I see is to write a framework that is functionally equivalent to CoreAudio, which would be a lot of work.
