Hi,<br>

<p>
That is the reason, why two backends exist for Microtek scanners.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Does anybody have information about the interface specifications?</i><br>

<p>
Probably, but there are more things to do. I have a version of the backend<br>
that has preliminary (which means untested) support for a transparency<br>
media adapter. The ADF should be activated very much the same way.<br>
<p>
I hope to have a version with (as well untested) support for an ADF within<br>
the next days. However, the backend is currently in an intermediate state<br>
due to some changes, so that it takes probably some days to get it<br>
reasonably running again at all.<br>
