legacy-kexts's Introduction

Legacy Kexts

FAT kexts
32 Bit Kexts

Goal of this repo is to help preserve legacy OSX kexts as more and more sites remove old content. If there's any source code, original thread, prebuilt binaries, etc you'd like to add, feel free to make a PR.

Good chunk fo these kexts were also provided by this Archive
