Hi Henning, please find the new patch, where I correct one small error and tested it with LS-50. The code you pointed out seems to be a correction of a previous bug, so I think it will not break any working scanner. Test results with LS-50: Blank and white negative film: not working Color negative film: not working Color positive film: working, but I think there is still a problem with autoexposure, since all scanned images are very dark.

I went out and bought a PCI-SCSI card (Adaptec AHA-2904) + a noname optical mouse + a set of El Cheapo SoundBlaster speakers + an Animatrix DVD . All for 16$. So, I feel it was worth the 400 yd walk. :) The system recognizes the Adaptec card, but still no luck with the scanner... :( Any tricks up the sleeve?
