And Firmware 3.8.0

So the question is, where do i find the driver in the source code to copy it into my Installation ?
That is correct, but the change was to add device ids for the H20 and bump the supported firmware version number. There were no actually function changes and there has not been any recently. I'd have to check the notes, but calibre 1.48 does have the latest function. The configuration of the driver has an option "Attempt to support newer firmware". Using this with calibre 1.48 and firmware 3.8.0 is safe. And will be for at least the next firmware versions and probably a couple more afterwards. There has definitely been changes since calibre 1.5. Again, I'd have to look at what, but I know I have made more significant changes in that time than just bumping version numbers.

What I recommend doing is upgrading to calibre v1.48 and setting the firmware support driver option. This will be fine unless you buy a H20. When I hear that someone that can't upgrade past 1.48 has bought a H20, I'll look at solving that problem.
