I've updated epkowa.desc to mention which plugin is needed for those devices that use one and added a URL to the AVASYS Download Site that should get users straight to the questionnaire. # Questionnaire? Yuck! I've also updated some of the comments that referenced the snapscan backend as that backend now claims support. Patch attached, please commit.

But the most likely problem is possible troubles with the motor which can receive incorrect settings, making it running at too high speeds. Or moving past the physical limits of the scanner. Both could damage motor or the belts and gears. However, this didn't happen to me with the few scanners I hacked. My HP3200C did disturbing grinding noises a numerous times during development, and I even had to open it to manually reseat the belt and head. But it is still working. When developing, I get the scanners at hand to hastily unplug USB or power cable when things weren't going the way they should. I didn't break any. But can't tell I'm lucky or that these scannners were strong enough to survive. And I last, I remember to there was a thread in sane-devel about a scanner where the transparency unit got too hot and then broke. Sensors failures are a risk too. So my conclusion is: while hardware failures are a low risk, they do happen and you know it only after the things are done ... Regards, Stef
