Thanks to a brilliant suggestion from Bernd to lookup the FCC ID<br>
I can now confirm that my Blackwidow scanner is actually an<br>
Ultima/Artec.<br>
<p>
I am about to try that driver out connected to nasty 5340 card.<br>
<p>
Hmmmm. Bypassing the check at line 800.<br>
Also frigging get_cap_data to take a model name I give<br>
it in an environment variable. There are three AT6, AT12 and A6000C<br>
mentioned in the file.<br>
<p>
Trying model AT6. 100dpi colour.<br>
<p>
Eeeek - unexpected error on unit Schneider - The bloody thing works !<br>
<p>
AT12, 300dpi. Three image copies side by side. Back to 100dpi.<br>
Rams into end stop. Switch off scanner. PC hung.<br>
<p>
One fsck later...<br>
Model AT6<br>
<p>
100dpi colour twice for luck. ok.<br>
200dpi ok<br>
300dpi. Loverly.<br>
100dpi halftone. Fuzzy dither pattern though recognisable.<br>
Oh that's right maybe ?<br>
100dpi Gr[ae]y. Fine<br>
Lineart. ok.<br>
300dpi Gr[ae]y ok.<br>
<p>
Let's try the A6000C.<br>
Rams end even on preview which looks ok otherwise.<br>
Think I'll leave that one alone.<br>
<p>
Well I'm a happy bunny and am happy to cooperate with the driver<br>
writer if required. Now to connect gimp...<br>
<p>
So to recap, I disabled the check at line 800 commented<br>
"Are we really dealing..."<br>
and adjusted artec_get_cap_data to take an environment<br>
variable in place of dev-&gt;sane.model in that first loop.<br>
<p>
While I'm on can I suggest that "-g" is not used by default. Those<br>
that want it can put it back. Everybody else has slower build times<br>
and wasted space.<br>
<p>
Jon<br>
