When looking at available solutions to my problem I did examine the "Wish I Were" init/control panel. The "Wish I Were" init/control panel changes the “mach” gestalt selector value. The “mach” value is used for hardware identification. My needs focus on system software identification, which is why I need the “sysv” gestalt selector modified. Due to this requirement, the "Wish I Were" init/control panel will not work for my problem.

I have looked at various inits/cdevs but have not found one that will modify the “sysv” value. If anyone knows of an existing init/cdev that will modify the “sysv” gestalt selector, this would be the best way for me to solve my problem. I did spend a fair amount of time trying to find a developed solution to this problem, without success. Moving forward with this would be the development of a custom init/cdev. Based on the parameters, if anyone feels that they can do this please let me know. Thanks.
