Hi,<br>
<br>
Following the previous mails, I've:<br>
- removed Martin from the list,<br>
- added Michel for his fentonups knowledges. Michel, your help would be welcomed ;-)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2005/10/10, Carlos Rodrigues <<a href="mailto:carlos.efr@mail.telepac.pt">carlos.efr@mail.telepac.pt

I made some minor changes to powermust, to make it less "mustek" and

uhm, megatec you say! You should also have a look at fentonups.<br>
I remember that it's stated to be a Megatec protocol driver (look at driver.list too)...<br>

maybe megatec would be a good name!<br>
considering my above remark, things might be huger than I (we) have thought at first...<br>
<br>
I like the starting of your patch (more generic...), although the
unknown values in mfr/model aren't the best. Some switch (ie
-mode={mustek,blazer,fenton} should be fine to handle this.<br>
<br>
Anyway, we'll postpon things until the situation gets more clear.<br>
Can you please have a look at all these Carlos and Michel?<br>

thanks,<br>
