Felix and I looked at it a while ago. It was mostly similar, but a had a few fairly major differences, however, I don't recall what they were off hand. I'll see if I can dig them up. I've got all the information I'd need write a driver, I just lack the time. Maybe I can spare a few hours to write up some information and perhaps put the start of a driver somewhere, so others can run with it. > Also, is any of this information in a wiki? I can defintiely add it. probably not until later next week however as I'll be in Vienna for the next few days.
