Mail them again and tell them that if they provide the specs the
Linux community will develop the driver - in other words, they
get a driver without mucvh effort on their part. It would also
make them look good in the Linux community and that would
translate in more sales. Tell them all that. Maybe they get it.

Most probably not directly. However, if you can't make them give
anything else, take at least that. Maybe there is some example
code or suchlike that gives useful information. Always take what
you can get. Your mileage may vary. If it is completely useless
you can throw it away anyway.
