More hardware is always nice, but, unless I'm rather mistaken, more hardware != more time. I'll try to have a poke at the source this week and see if anything useful happens. If anyone is actually planning to send me hardware - if I start doing useful stuff to this driver, please wait until after I've started sending patches.
