Hi !

The same for me, I was tricked. In fact this is the last thing which
prevents me from having all my computers runnig Linux :(

This is great, despite I don't know if we are far enough for parallel
tasking right now. Anyway, do you have a DSL line (and are you ready to
receive huge transaction logs) ? Basically I am:
- reversing the windows TWAIN DLL 
- getting USB logs from windows scans
- creating perl scripts to parse/rewrite/extract useful information from
the logs (and go back and forth with the windows disassembly)
- producing a libusb executable which produces scans
