I have the scanner. I removed the panel from the bottom and found a board 10*15 cm with these chips and other components: Avision 163-54-000005 9748LD042 gullwing package Two UT61256SC-15 9802 surface-mount DIPs Avision 112-0009-0 (8534) 9803A BC81E5 18-pin throughhole DIP National Semiconductor E9742AB LM9811CCV quad J-lead Texas Instruments 54A20DK HC245 20-pin surface-mount DIP Assorted resistors, capacitors, diodes, and a toroidal inductor Nothing on the other side. Is that enough to go on, or should I open the scanner?
I am running Linux Mandrake and have sane 1.0.3 and sane-devel RPMs from Mandrake 7.2, and sane, sane-frontends, and sane-backends 1.0.4 (but no sane-devel) from Mandrake 8.0. Is that good enough to write a driver, or should I compile from source? phma
