Ok, see below. I would welcome if you not only solicite
patches/updates but actually include them in your page. No pun
intended, but I've sent 2 or three updates that haven't been included
ever (without a comment from you). I'll include them again in this mail.
Acer, Agfa, Benq:
"Further information, copies of the firmware and firmware download
scripts can be found at the SnapScan SANE web page at
http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/"
Just nitpicking: I'm by no means a snapscan expert but I didn't see
the "copies of the firmware" on this page. They list the names and
tell that they are on the Windows driver CD. Could be a licensing
issue if they would provide the files themselves.
CanoScan D660U: Shouldn't this one blue, as the manufacturer refuses
to give documentation?
Bye,
Henning
