I also have a simple driver for Radiator

-DLink (was popular at the time, only required a few lines of code)
-Cinergy600 (requested for RDS, and most of the code was provided)
-WinTV (requested because radiator drivers didn't support all FM tuners)
-HQCT (requested from many since it supports AM, plus code is available)

the AM guys

If they want they can add a Motorola AM Stereo IC to the HQCT - with some lines of changing code in my HQCT driver they can add support in nearly every frontend which uses this interface...

I know wal's driver implementation of Andre's hacked Blaupunkt HU
Interesting thing... is a dual tuner

I have in mind ! DualTuner and more will be possible...

"New" Tuners will be possibly DAB or another digital radio standard - but i don't know how to include this (and if its possible)

May be this will be Interfacespec (not driverversion!) V2.0 - currently I am running to V1.0.
I would like to present such a specification here (in the future) and then we can discuss it...
