As I mentioned I think, my mission here is to get multiple designs
spread and open.  Reduce those barriers, let's get a competition going here.

Sure I'll look at it, not sure if I am the best person.

One question:  how does it look to software?  I'm not in a position to
do any device driver writing, or mucking around with Linux kernels...
I'm using MacOSX and writing from Java so I essentially want either a
tty or a file device surfaced so I can read the thing directly from
userland.
