Sure, John.
I did not try to organize this. It might be possible, of course, in theory.

And maybe it is one of the solutions - to have a place (possibly like kickstarter)
where we can organize driver jobs. I don't know how realistic this is though, but
could be worth a try.

If it's a popular device shouldn't it be possible to organise the programming
equivalent of a "group buy" and get interested users to pay someone who knows
the necessary voodoo to get it working?

It might not be a case of "nobody cares", but that nobody can afford to drop
their paid work for long enough to look at the problem.
