  This is pretty good that someone else talking about USB scanners!
  As you maybe know i implemented Visioneer 8600 USB scanner
  by modifying kernel usb/scanner.c and all backend parts

  Since the original usb/scanner.c only implement read/write bulks, this is
  definitely not enough for most of currently usb scanners, and this could be
  the main reason that so few usb linux drivers for usb scanners.

  I modify the usb/scanner.c according to the kernel driver in MS WINDOWS
  or the usbscan.sys inorder to have same data structure as ISV use, so people
  can speak same language about usb scanners.Anyway, my effort is still not
  enough, we still need people join in to make usb/scanner.c full functional.

  If you are interested about the effort i do about usb/scanner.c, please:

  Note, I'm going to move the web to other place...
