To quote the relevant part of the product description:

M12M device."

It is. Hambly told me his CNS Clock used to be OnCore M12-based, but
he now does OnCore emulation in firmware coupled to a u-blox and is
planning to drop that support at some

It presently is supported by gpsd. Not that it is worth supporting.
The Oncore is old, undocumented, and not up to most any modern GNSS
quality.

Not sure if it is of any use to you in the U.S., but they do officially
sell to consumer since some years now:

The OnCore already is mostly supported. What's missing is that GPSD
can't do site-survey mode for the M12 timing variant. These are long
since EOL but still available on e-Bay for cheap, as boards with
TTL-level outputs; you have

Probably, it was discussed a bit in bug 608 on the tracker before the
discussion moved here.
And while I also like removing code, we've removed a lot, and I'm
Can OnCore be supported by gpsd?
And while I also like removing code, we've removed a lot, and I'm not
instantly adverse to giving the hobbyests a command option to handle
wraparound on their old hardware.

The fact that they had to be linked to the kernel rather than being in
userland made them *worse* security risks. Those were the first
drivers I dropped.

Type 2 was actually the venerable Trak GPS, which was available in a
number of output configurations. NTPd

Option 2. If the manufacturer won't support the product any more, we
shouldn't either.

Issue #608, "Future need for oncore GPS driver", foregrounds a product
strategy question we need to make a decision about.
In the early days of this project, we had a conflict between two objectives:
1. In order not to upset the NTP Classic userbase, support whatever
old hardware we can
