I don't know if somebody is working on it, but the card could be useful for
somebody working on it.

No, it was used to read the EEPROM. There were no attempts to reverse-engineer
and rewrite the EEPROM, however one can do that with this device.
It contains about 300kb data, so it's probably hard to reverse engineer.
However, I think there's no need to start over from zero, because most parts
of the device should be known. They're most likely just running their portable
driver kit on it.
