Hi,
the first version of the backend is available here:
http://www.angelfire.com/linux/crapsite/

This backend will probably also work with the Artec E+ 48U (untested).

Features:
Scan-modes: gray/color
Bitdepth: 8/16 bit per channel
Resolutions: 50,100,200,300,600 dpi

Please note:
I still don't know, how the calibration works, therefore you currently need 
the calibration files generated by the windoze driver.
You also need the firmware file, which is located in the Win98 (e.g) 
directory on the installation CD. If you don't have windoze, you can't use
the scanner under Linux/Unix (quite strange :-).
 
Thanks to
-Sergey Vlasov, for writing the gt68xx test program, on which the backend is 
based, and for his useful advice. 
-David Stevenson for his help.
-Martin Moeller for testing.

Please report bugs, there are plenty of them :-)
