<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm working on a project that needs a portable
scanner that will be connected to a linux machine. Sane would work
perfectly, however, I am looking for a lightweight USB scanner that has a
backend already written for it. Is there one available?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two concerns for this project:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Must be USB and not require an AC power
source</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Must be portable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>THanks in advance.</FONT></DIV>
