I'd personally wait until they're $20 used on eBay, then attempt to reverse-enginner the protocol so it can be controlled by Python and a Linux box.

Thank you, because I assume the last step would be open sourcing it. People like you are what keep hardware going long after the original vendor abandons it or goes under.

Also, I agree on waiting for eBay, this is a nice device but I can't justify $99 for it.
