A fine plan. I was looking at this a few days ago - there are some specs 
available from someone who's been reverse-engineering the protocols used.

However, appears to be no code, and no progress for some time.

I don't have any of these devices, so I haven't bothered to investigate
further. But if you're interested in it, and have access to one of them,
then please do try to pick up from where the others have left off, and try to 
provide a driver for them (or set a project for a student to do so :)
