HI Xavier!
I don't think that you need much (if any) software in the adapter. I
believe you need only enough to "trick" the camera into thinking that
there is an auto focus lens on it. (At least, that is the method
used with Canon adapters.) If this can be achieved, then focus
confirmation could be used, even with the 400 Telyt!!!!
I also believe, that if you can master it, there is a market for
it. I, for one, would buy one!
Good Luck!
