I've added that info to the CVS version of the docs:

http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-cvs/player/ 
supported_hardware.html

I'll add it to the "Current" docs after we release 2.0.2 with the  
erratic driver included.

When you get a chance, could you document the driver with Doxygen  
markup?  The best place to put it would be erratic.cc; this file will  
automatically be processed by Doxygen when the documentation is  
created.  Check out the other drivers for examples.  Assuming you  
have Doxygen installed, you can preview the results by doing 'make  
doc' in player/doc, then pointing your web browser at: player/doc/ 
player-docs/index.html .

Folks, is there any support for timestamps in Player?  They are useful 
when working with multiple sensors, and critical in a multi-PC 
environment.  I can't find anything in the docs, but the 
laserinterpolator must make use of something like this.

In any case, it would be great if Player would use timestamps in all 
drivers that provide sensor info, and had support for synchronizing time 
across multiple machines.

Every packet has a time stamp attached to it, what I don't recall is 
wether its that accessible from the client libraries...

Here we go, for some reason the documentation for the ClientProxy class 
is not being generated properly (its all in there)

     /// Returns the received timestamp [s]
     double GetDataTime() const { return GetVar(mInfo->datatime); };

     /// Returns the received timestamp [s]
     double GetElapsedTime() const
       { return GetVar(mInfo->datatime) - GetVar(mInfo->lasttime); };

You should be able to call these on any c++ proxy, there are equivalent 
methods in the c client lib.

The documentation is okay in CVS...
