I know you are searching for positive answers, Ben, but I am suspecting  
more and more the answer is "no".  Maybe this rash statement will  
inspire someone to show a counter example.

I would think that the supplier of the device would have drivers.  You  
might need to make an external.  It that is on the wrong platform, you  
might need to set up some network communications to get control to the  
right one.  That sure looks like a lot of work.
