Jesper,

I wish you had announced your intention in the beginning. I have to push
back a little here, since we are currently exploding in the number of
drivers. Can your driver be merged another very similar one with the
actual radio selected by a mode combination? We have in fact managed to
support all Spectracom models and all TrueTime models with a single
driver for each manufacturer.

You state it is a large patch, presumably against some other DCF77
driver, and there are several of them. Would this patch allow the
patched driver to operate as originally intended? If so, can you confirm
that on your side of the Atlantic? We can't do that here.
