  what:
  A patch to add the name of the hp5300 into the Avision-backend.

  It changes the line 542 in the avision-backend from:

  if (strcmp (&mfg, "AVISION ") != 0) {
  to:
  if (strcmp (&mfg, "AVISION ") != 0 || strcmp( &mfg, "HP " ) != 0)

  called & where:
  no idea where the current patch can be found.

  A kernel-driver which emulates a SCSI scanner for the HP5300 scanner:

  It can be found in the Alan Cox Kernel series and is called: hp5300.o

  (It doesn't work for the most people and Oliver <Oliver.Neukum@lrz.uni-muenchen.de>
  is working on a new driver:

  The Linux kernel series, maintained by Alan Cox:

  Who talked about examples?? ;-) (It doesn't work ...)

  You should wait for the new hp5300->SCSI module or get a new scanner :-(.
