That would be me.

I have just got help to clean up the code and will deposit the changes in the 
SF CVS tree, as soon as I have had a chance to test the changes. Probably 
tonight.
We sure could use some more help. AFAIK the LM9833 is very similar to the 
LM9832. That would make the driver very similar.

HP 2200c is a pure, USB LM9832 based scanner.

Any interested helping in this project is welcome to visit the homepage 
mentioned above and also the mailing list that is set up on SF for the 
scanjet2200c project.
