Thanks Stefan. I actually have one of these sitting in storage, waiting for me to get some time to write a backend. I suppose you could help move things along, perhaps by gathering some usb logs under windows? allan On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 4:53 PM, Stefan Schueller wrote: > Here are photographs o

FWIW, at this point I'm fairly certain that this scanner uses SQ SCAN11 chip. Since no sane scanner at this point support this chip, I guess it makes the case pretty hopeless. data so far : NAME: "Microtek ScanMaker 4900" aka "USB2400 Scanner" aka "D9" TYPE:MRS-2400L48U USB ID: 05da:30d9

I think I give up. FWIW, this is what it says inside of scanner : the big chip (U2) : MII S11 A212-0400 E2M11 the ram chip : EliteMT M11L416256SA-35J DZC2HBP50 0208 Circuit Board : LYNX-0110 REV-A(20301) it in a way is sort of similar to description of 5900 ( On Nov 24, 20

i dont think that sane-find-scanner or check-usb-chip use the backend files. they are independent programs. it seems that the problem is this scanner uses USB_CLASS_PTP? thats mostly used by cameras, and its not even listed in usb.h on my older machine, so if you want to add it, you'll have to use
