Big change that is not an scanport but a more famous brand. The hus just
been changed. OEM resell I think. Look at the FCC number, go to
www.fcc.gov and search the database. When you found the manufactor goto
altavista or infoseek and enter the name. There is very big change that
you will end up in a site somewhere in Taiwan.

Why al this trouble well you may just be able to use your scanner with
an backend that has already been made. I have a Trust scanner and did
the same think as described. I found that my trust 2400SP is a scanner
from teco information products. It does not work with SANE.

Good Luck
