This scanner also has Vendor 05d8 ProdID 4004.
Even if you don't own the scanner, it's possible to install the driver. All 
Artec drivers seem to install an .inf file in c:\windows\inf (e.g. 
Artec48.inf, ArtecPro.inf), which reveals the Product/Vendor ID, i.e. it 
contains a section like (from ArtecPro.inf)
[Models]
%USB\VID_05D8&PID_4004% = Artec.Scanner, USB\VID_05D8&PID_4004
There are also other files, which might contain useful information in 
c:\windows like Ausba5.ini or Ausba4.ini. They seem to contain information 
about exposure time, gain and so on. I just don't know how to interpret this:
...
GrandGainR=5
GrandGainG=15
GrandGainB=15

CanonGainR=10
CanonGainG=3
CanonGainB=3

UsePixelDown=1
Mit_PixelDownPercent=115
Canon_PixelDownPercent=115
Toshiba_PixelDownPercent=130
MaxBadPixel=5
...

Antoine already mentioned, that he got this scanner recognized by the tevion 
backend. It just doesn't move, probably due to wrong motor flags. Are you 
planning to add support for this scanner in the gt68xx backend?

Hmm, same as the e+ Pro.
