Well, I recently wrote a driver for comedi and it wasn't as hard as I
initially feared.  Comedi internally is very well designed for plugging
in new driver code.  Take a look at skel.c in comedi/drivers/.  It is a
sample 'skeleton driver' which you can use as a...well.. skeleton for your
driver.  Put in device-specific code there.  Most of the framework is
there and you just have to fill in the meaty parts that talk to the board.
Also, if there is a similar board out there that already exists, you can
look at the driver for that for some inspiration!  (That's what I did for
my driver).

Thanks a lot for contributing to comedi, and good luck.  Let any of us
know if you have any questions, of course!

Cheers,

-Calin
