anything prior to 3.0 for non 1bpp and 3.1 with 4bit grayscale MUST
be done by poking at the hardware registers. not a very nicely
supported practice in my books.. and you will also need to write your
own graphics routines :(

... based on API of course, which is what you should stick to. the
user can always upgrade to 3.3/3.5 (soon) if they totally need the
API support. those users who purchase non flashable units.. well,
such devices are tagged as "disposable" :>
