Thanks for looking into this old driver.

If you've got a few spare cycles it might make sense to simply split
the "wide board" support out - the driver literally is two different
drivers with an if/else section in every method for the totally
different narrow vs wide boards.  Having at least a clean and simple
driver for the newer wide boards would be good, and narrow ones are
probably old enough that we can let the driver for those fade away..
