Well, to be honest - the reason Haiku supports those, is because the
developers have the hardware...
There's less chance of porting a driver without the hardware (as it
still requires testing and tweaking) - and I doubt anyone's going to
port drivers simply because it might support 100 devices that almost
nobody uses.
Best way to get them ported is to provide the hardware to the devs :)
