I'm not aware of any Player drivers for those.  It looks like there's an API
provided by the manufacturer, but the API's extremely restrictive licensing
terms would prevent anyone from creating a Player driver using the API (it's
only licensed for 'games', military/cartographic and other uses are
expressly prohibited.)  You'd have to implement something from scratch to
interface with one, without referring to the API code.
