well, i'm the maintainer of es1968 driver, but the driver is atm not
well maintained.  the chip is yes a bit complicated but the problem is
lack of proper documents.  there is a data sheet but it doesn't
describe any essential parts.  and we have only a crappy buggy DOS
example code...

anyway, please let me know if you have any questions.


ciao,
