Right.

Furthermore, if there is no publicly available HW spec of the Macraigor
Raven, there will be no Linux device driver, unless Macraigor itself starts
to support it, or some curious soul reverse engineers this piece of HW.

Please note the recent move of some major graphic card manufacturers
towards unveiling their top secret programming information without NDA, and 
their cooperation with the XFree maintainers, so high quality open source 
device drivers will become available.
