I have one of these and am nearly finished with the first driver for it.  It
will initially be an internal to crafty interface that will let you set the
position and then "scan it in" automtically as well as recognize your move
when you make it on the board.

The next plan is to modify xboard to talk to this and get the changes to Tim
Mann, so that they can (hopefully) be ported to winboard so that they will work
with *all* the winboard/xboard compatible programs with no modifications to the
programs needed...

More as I get this done...
