Dear Dr. Bolsch,<br>
<p>
I just wanted to send a wholeheartedly thanks about the new<br>
Mustek SANE backend to you. A lot has improved since the latest<br>
official release. The two points I was really sad about seem<br>
to be completely fixed now.<br>
<p>
I own a Mustek 1200SP, firmware rev. 1.05 (which doesn't<br>
appear as "supported" in the backend manpage) and the two top<br>
problems that kept me from using SANE were:<br>
<p>
- The scanner seemed not to use the SCSI buffer at all (or<br>
even mostly), resulting in an almost steady forward-and-back<br>
movement because data were constantly transmitted to the<br>
computer, which causes the slide to move into a "parking"<br>
position.<br>
<p>
- After resuming operation from the parking position, the<br>
slide resumed scanning at a certain "offset", resulting in<br>
horizontally broken-up pictures<br>
<p>
Both problems seem to be gone with the new backend; even<br>
at the highest color resolution, the scanner takes a good bit<br>
of the image to be scanned before moving into the parking<br>
position (i.e. moving about half an inch backwards) to send<br>
the data to the PC. After resuming operation, the slide now<br>
picks up the scanning process exactly from the position where<br>
it stopped - the resulting picture is, frankly, flawless<br>
<p>
With high hopes and many, many thanks,<br>
<p>
