See the great Eric Smith who thought he could -- and related messages:

Sadly, most of that time will probably go into hopes and failures
of the replication idea, and by the time college starts up,
you'll have learned just enough to no longer have any more time
to write working driver code.
In short: it's not easy (see jmk's post as reply to the above reference).
