But I would say that it is rather a good news. :-) At least there is some hope. I know, developing driver for something for which there is only scarce or incomplete documentation is not easy. So it's good to hear, that there actually is something going on. ...Staying tuned. Just let me know when there would be something, I wouldn't say "useable", but at least for some pre-alpha testing or perhaps to try adapting for specific hardware, or anything.
