This is the current code that I have, I hadn't put in the check for position
36, but did once you mentioned it. This is probably a bit over-checking, but
if I find it too restrictive I can loosen it up some.

if ((result[0] == 0x6 ) &&
(strncmp (result + 32, "1.90", 4 ) == 0 ) &&
(result[36] == 0x00 ) &&
(strncmp (result + 8, " ", 8 ) == 0 ) &&
(strncmp (result + 16, "Flatbed Scanner ", 16 ) == 0 ))
{
DBG( 4, "Found BlackWidow BW4800SP scanner, setting up like AT3\n" );

The BlackWidow BW4800SP had the same firmware revision as my AT3 (v1.90) so
I coded in that check for now.
