<EM>&gt; &gt; The same problems occur with Microtek X6 (I reported about quite recently).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Currently I try to get the latest firmware-release ( &gt; 1.6 ) from Microtek,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; because the problems mentioned seem to be solved with V1.6 (and higher)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Hi,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I contacted Microtek (Germany and NL as well) in order to get a firmware
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; update which would (hopefully) solve the problems reported.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Unfortunately Microtek does not seem to be willing to help.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I have been asking for a FIRMWARE update.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek's answer was:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; The SANE driver is never provided by Microtek. Microtek does not support
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Linux.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; My reply:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I am NOT asking for driver support, but for an update of firmware
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; which is obviously buggy. (V1.3 -&gt; V1.6 or higher)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek's reply:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; We do not own driver SANE, we can not give you an update. Any updates can be
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; found at:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/">http://www.mostang.com/sane/</A> Can be found with any search engine.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; WOW, at least, they know where SANE can be found.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; My reply:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I am aware of this.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; What I am looking for is the latest Version of the Firmware,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; ^^^^^^^^
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; which is part of the scanner (residing in the scanner - EPROM)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; My EPROM is labelled with V1.3 and the driver software indicates this too.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I know, that the system will work correctly with V1.6.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; So, again, I am NOT talking about DRIVER-SOFTWARE!
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek's reply:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; NONE
</EM><BR>
new developments or informations with regard to this problem?
<BR>
I have the same problems with my scanmaker X6 Firmware Version 1.3
