Hi, the first version of the backend is available here: http://www.angelfire.com/linux/crapsite/
This backend will probably also work with the Artec E+ 48U (untested). Features: Scan-modes: gray/color Bitdepth: 8/16 bit per channel Resolutions: 50,100,200,300,600 dpi Please note: I still don't know, how the calibration works, therefore you currently need the calibration files generated by the windoze driver. You also need the firmware file, which is located in the Win98 (e.g) directory on the installation CD. If you don't have windoze, you can't use the scanner under Linux/Unix (quite strange :-). Thanks to -Sergey Vlasov, for writing the gt68xx test program, on which the backend is based, and for his useful advice. -David Stevenson for his help. -Martin Moeller for testing. Please report bugs, there are plenty of them :-) Michael
