I have a few of them hanging around here as well, as well as the data books for them that looks to be complete enough to do a driver. My big problem is that I have so many other irons in the fire that I don't have time to do the driver for these things. Chances are good that it would be a very simple driver and likely the md driver could easily be adapted to either use these or be used as a template.
