[sane-devel] Memorex Maxx 6142U Help

[Albert, Patti & Zachary Carter]

All,

   I have been trying to find out information about this scanner to try and 
start working a back-end for it.  However Memorex is impossible to deal 
with they refuse to give me any specs or information on the scanner.  I 
have however found out that Memorex isn't really the manufacturer they 
inform me that Staples and Visioneer licensed their name to get this 
scanner out.  Now I have compared notes on Visioneer's web site and 
discovered that they have a Visioneer 4400USB that has the same information 
in it (practically word for word) as the Memorex Maxx 6142U.  However 
Visioneer refuses to help out as well.  I talked to someone who's trying to 
work on getting the USB Driver working on this scanner found information on 
http://www.linux-usb.org and asked him what he had found out.  He informs 
me the same, he had taken the scanner apart and saw the following.   If 
anyone has any idea how I can work better on this without having to deal 
with Memorex or Visioneer would be great.

   Here's what is inside this scanner:

"I took the thing apart and had a look at the chips inside.  One labeled as
"Elite MT 72MHz", possibly some sort of microprocessor; an M11B416256A-35J
(probably RAM), and some small thing saying "UTC OEOH  ULN2003."  Don't seem
to be the same as the chipsets in the other scanners for which Linux drivers
have been written, but I don't really know.  It might emulate something else;
I just haven't had time to try them all."

Thanks in Advance,
Albert
