Looking through the information on the viceo.orconhosting.net site, it shows my scanner as being unsupported due to using the E5 chipset. I did find some more information by digging through the files included with the Windows Driver. One of the files (Hardware.ini) looks like it contains sections with information for 4 models: 6200, 6400, 8100, 8600. The 8600 is listed on that site as supported and using the E4 chipset. There are also released drivers for WinXP for the 8100 and 8600. There's also a binary file "protocol.ds", looking through it with a hex editor I didn't find any helpful strings, but perhaps that file would be helpful to someone else?
Unfortunately the driver is only good for Win98, 98se, and 2000-- and I don't have any of those operating systems. It does not work with WinXP. So I have no way of running that actual driver, unless I can find an old machine, or at least an install disc (I don't mind setting up a virtual machine to try getting it to work). m. allan noah has told me that I either need to get a windows trace and post it. Or start with a simple libusb program and attempt to reverse engineer it from there.
