I see... I was hoping that the individual chips were already supported 
somewhere, making the process easier. I read somewhere that Pinnacle 
were quite helpful in the development of other drivers. Can't find the 
page again, but their statement on the page below suggests they might 
offer technical information on the chip. I'd like to see the information 
they supply, but I probably don't have enough time to commit to it at 
the moment :(
