Hi,
this would be problematic, because I do not have the hardware and given its age I won't. I certainly will break the driver if I do this extensive a change without testing it.
However, as is the driver has obvious issues, which I can fix. We can either do the sensible fixes or let it quietly rot.
Regards Oliver
