[sane-devel] Could not locate Fujitsu fi-410c (untested?)

[m. allan noah]

i have just recently gotten a 4120 myself. i am using the scsi port, not 
the usb. i added some basic support to the fujitsu driver, and it was 
placed in the cvs copy just a few days ago. so, you must use the latest 
cvs source of sane to use this scanner. ( i was fortunate enough to follow 
behind ron cemer, who did most of the hard work)

the different device numbers should not matter, since the fujitsu driver 
uses the inquiry command (iirc) and string compairison to determine the 
model, and both numbers you listed are associated with the 4x20 pair of 
scanners, which are similar enough to make no difference.

it is possible that you may see some color inversion using this scanner, 
expect a patch in the next few days to address that.

btw, i HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend that you upgrade your os to at least 
redhat 7.3 and apply every errata patch from updates.redhat.com, if you 
are going to put the machine in question on the net. 7.1 contains many 
security issues.
