I'm thinking, if there is that much interest, maybe people would be willing to chip in to make it worth you while to develop a one off separate version. If a new firmware comes out later we could pay again for a upgrade?

Donations are (in my mind) one way to show appreciation to a developer for the work they've done, or to aid them in accomplishing some desired project goal. What you're suggesting wouldn't be "donations" as far as I'm concerned, it would be payment.
I'm willing to negotiate a contract to produce a version for community consumption, or to produce a version where each person pays a fee for their own copy of the enhancement, but the cost either way would be substantial enough to make up for the time I'd be unnecessarily taking away from my family. And you would have to wait until I can get the paperwork submitted and processed to form a business entity so the tax man doesn't make my life miserable
