The device can be driven by I2C commands, the hardware connections are well documented, it is designed for hobbyists, drivers in C are provided, the suppliers claim it can be driven by any processor including motoralla. I2C drivers of a type exist for the QL for the Minerva ROM. no doubt there would be work to do to make it happen but less than designing bespoke hardware from the ground up. UK suppliers have it on sale for £30 a piece with development rigs for £150 - a lot less than the £1000s suggested before.
