always look on the bright side of life
da doo da doo da doo da do ta do.

sure it's not easy writing a driver.  if
it were, there'd be no satisfaction in
doing it.

yet they are still just software.  there
is nothing magical about a driver.

i would recommend getting some
documentation, though.  drivers
themselves don't retain much information
on what the magic registers do.
