Well, after a day of extreme hacking on SANE, you just made my
day. ;-)

I'll let Jeremy answer your question regarding the E3 backend.
Regarding genscsi: yes, it would definitively be great to have
equivalent support on other machines (note that it got renamed to
"sanei_scsi" in pre0.53---sanei stands for "SANE-internal"). SANE
certainly is meant for all Unix flavors, not just Linux and it
shouldn't be too hard to port things over.

That would be cool indeed! The more backends, the merrier!
