Dunno.  I'd heard he was getting married & that always makes for 
reduced "time to hack" adjustments.  But, at his tender age, one 
really has no choice, but *must* take care of the "homework".  I 
remember those days, faintly now that several decades have passed, 
but fondly. :-)

I just did get his -pre4, and Alans -pre4-ac5 patches, so I might 
experiment a bit.  My problems, when they pop up, seem to be more 
usb than scanner.  Until recently I've had to reboot in order for 
it to re-recognize my camera, which uses the usb_storage module for 
access, making it look like a vfat file system.
