Sometimes evolution goes backwards. Writing a device driver for RSX is 
well documented, and fairly straight forward. And there are no problems 
unloading and loading device drivers on a running system.

That said - it's still not something for people who don't understand a 
lot of low level and kernel internal stuff.
