  I don't think anyone has implemented a driver for this machine. If it functions
  somewhat like the Acer scanner there is hope that you path will be easy.
  Otherwise it may be tough. Acer are about as free with information as your
  favourite intelligence service.

  What type of interface (SCSI, USB, etc.) does this thing use?
