You can download drivers including other platforms from the Release page and determine a proper driver for your model from this page, but you might encounter some issues with unconfirmed platforms.
I very much appreciate if you report whether it works.
NOTE: I recommend using front ports to connect devices because some users reported stability issues when they use rear ports.
