It probably won't work with the ZIP driver.  But, go ahead, bug the
vendor to give you documentation, and write a driver -- that's how
things are usually getting to fly... ;)

You probably have to bug the vendor hard until you get docs, but
nevertheless, the freeware operating systems are well-known these days
even at the hardware vendors, and if you insist on getting the docs,
you'll eventually get them.

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