update time again, this time it is the sheet-fed Visioneer Strobe XP300,
thanks to a hardware donation of Jack McGill. What stef said pretty much
applies to the XP300, too, but the XP300 is a duplex scanner, so there
are additional caveats. Front- and back side are currently output
side-by-side, with the back side mirrored horizontally, shifted
downwards relative to the front side. Currently, the scanner essentially
behaves like having a double-width sensor.

Regards,

PS1: don't try to test this on current cvs -- at least for me, it
creates libsane-*.so.0.1.0, instead of libsane-*.so.1.1.0.
PS2: Sorry Jack, but the XP300 was far more interesting than the
Roadwarrior ;-) -- i am working on it.
