  I read most of snapscan related messages on this list in the archive as well
  as Charter's homepage recently, so I know what is the situation.

  I do realize that it's difficult to maintain a backend when you don't
  have a documentation and/or different scanners (indeed, i had to
  compare each scsi command between the win driver and sane's one to
  find my little bug, so it would not have been possible for someone
  without this model). And I really appreciate what you and others
  before have done to make snapscan backend work with each model.

  I will try to investigate the EAGAIN bug by my side and make useful
  bug reports ;)
  If you have any suggestion or want to try something, don't hesitate to
  contact me; I have quite a good knowledge of the code with all I tried
  to make it work.
