Exactly. Are you going to write the drivers then (8-)# The hardware issues are not going to be trivial (for all aspects of the design) but the *real* difficulty is going to be finding people to write both the firmware (logic chips) and drivers. That will be the make/break. If Nasta were to be involved, then a great number of the hardware issues would be addressed.
