Hi Rolf, the most important thing is, that you want to make this job. It is not so important if you make such a generic-driver this week, next week or next year. When we get this driver somewhere in the near futuere I would be happy anyway. So when you begin your work, or you need somebody for some tests, please just contact me. Best greetings, Hannu Wegner
