I have no real information on which to base the following claim, but my
intuition tells me that's not going to be feasible.  Although if you
find out the cost, I'd be curious to hear it.

But if you find yourself in need of some hardware -- say a new bluray
drive after having bricked yours during development, for example -- or
some similarly small donation to help your work, I'd be willing to help
out.

I'm definitely keen to see full Blu-ray support on Linux.

Really?  I was under the impression that more or less all new Blu-ray
releases nowadays used BD+?

Your current test code is in C, I take it?

In general I think your plan of attack is very sensible.

Thanks,
Jason.
