I doubt that emulating devices is worth the effort. For many we don't  
have access to the protocol and timing anyway, so this would basically  
be a reversed driver. Since invariably this would have to be made by  
the same person as the driver, you risk missing vital parts/timing  
requirements in the protocol.

I'm in favor of more testing before releasing things, but when it  
comes to the drivers, this would have to be done with actual hardware  
to be worth the effort. The majority of regressions we see is in the  
drivers, not the server or clients.

Best regards, Arjen
