I don't think so.  It really only worked with the Plasmon `out of the
box', and too many people ignored that it won't work with the HP.  I'm
tired of telling the people afterwards about this...

Btw., all i've done is stuffing one #error line there, so people who
really believe that they should try it with 2.1.6 instead of the IMHO
much better suited (for this purpose) 2.2 can get their will as well.
They are expected to patch quite half a dozen files, so removing this
single line is not expected too much. :-)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
