After seeing this thread, I found a Dream Cheeky board on eBay for $12, and
bought it. I can confirm that it works quite well (at least, the software
does. The hardware is appropriately primitive).
I think it's definitely worth having an option in mainline Scid for this,
it's actually pretty neat. Ben, do you have any objections to your Scid
changes being rolled in, and your libhid driver being put in source control
somewhere, so people can find it more easily?
Thanks a lot for making this :)
