<P>This is a backend that certainly should not rot. The new Acer 640's are
|
|
<BR>
|
|
excellent value for money, and its a real shame the company's attitude
|
|
<BR>
|
|
sucks so much. Some good current Agfa scanners also depend on this backend.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Its key problem is that so many similar, but not quite the same, scanners
|
|
<BR>
|
|
depend on it. I think that may make it one of the tougher backends to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
support. I think that other backends supporting a large range of scanners
|
|
<BR>
|
|
have some (at least minimal) vendor support.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>When my May update to the SnapScan backend escaped^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H was
|
|
<BR>
|
|
released I heard from a few people having problems with different models,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
but they didn't follow through with enough info to sort those problems out.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Some of them were having problems with models which others said worked OK.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
That probably means they had different host environments, different
|
|
<BR>
|
|
firmware revisions, or such like. Without solid follow up from those having
|
|
<BR>
|
|
problems its rather demoralising trying to trace the cause.
