I think it is still worth a try. Wouldn't you love to
have such a driver?
And like Steve Mann said: "you never know unless you ask."

I personally don't think it would affect the 200LX very much. The
OGO has a non standard screen so there are a lot of DOS programs
currently used on the 200LX which the OGO wouldn't be able to
display/run properly if at all.
If you look at the japanese fella's page, he is running a
video file viewer EVA.EXE and according to the japanese text,
he is unable to use any key input and the display positions are
out of place. I think very few people needing to run DOS apps
would prefer the OG over the 200LX for reasons like the above.

This is also not a bad approach to follow.
