I think that part should be fine.

That WON'T work. Device major numbers differ from machine to machine, so
the numbers used on i386 aren't right for macppc.

You'll need something like the attached patch, and also to change the "71"
in the MAKEDEV script part to 63 (which is the exact same 63 that's in
this patch).

Yes, because 1) this patch wasn't in what you did, and 2) you were trying
to open device major 71, which isn't defined for macppc. :-)

Try this and see what happens.

Take care,
