I would be reading up on how the other scanners with models "kinda" like your are made to work, and try to figure out what the differences are, and how you could make your work. the Acer Remark above struck me, since I have an "unsupported" Acer Prisa 320 that I followed the directions for the prisa620, and changed which binary (*.bin) I used (in the windows install disk and folder) until I found the correct one, from then on I could use that scanner great, and I paid $40.00 US 2 years ago for that scanner.
