Nope.  But i once considered porting a driver for a Comtrol board, and
they are _very_ cooperative.  There are good chances that anybody who
wants to write a driver will get support from them.  (I've got full
doc including the source code of a SysV driver for one of their older
boards, but alas, the board is really too ancient to justify the
amount of work needed for a driver, just for the single card i've
got.)
