<i>&gt; Gary Plewa had created some drivers for the Acer Prisa 620S scanner. These were in a form of patches to snapscan. They never seem to have made it into the current release.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Is there a reason why they weren't used? I sent an email to Kevin asking him os the status,but nothing so far. Does anyone know the status of this?</i><br>
<p>
Mea culpa. I got the patches just before I moved back to Canada and forgot<br>
about them. Sorry about that; I'll assemble them this evening.<br>
<p>
I have good news about the SnapScan backend. I spent the last few days<br>
revising the backend and I'm happy to report that it works with<br>
scanimage -T now. The code is cleaner and better organized and some<br>
long-standing bugs should soon be dead. This kicks off the first<br>
in a series of long-planned improvements.<br>
<p>
Unfortunately, I also have bad news. Late this afternoon there was<br>
some kind of power abberation in my building and whatever it was hosed<br>
part of my filesystem. Naturally, in my haste I hadn't backed up the<br>
revised backend and I lost a few days' work. It's going to make me a<br>
few more days to get things back to the state they were in this<br>
afternoon.<br>
