I'm not that sure that it's a gl646. At least from the USB device
descriptor and the numbers on the chip there is no real indication
that it is.

Well, you change three of the main characteristics of the gl646. With
changes like this you could "detect" every chipset as a gl646 :-)

At least all the gl646-driven scanners looked like in
check-usb-scanner.c. I don't say you are wrong, but I'd like to be sure.

So can sane-find-scanner really talkt to the scanner after that
change? Can I see the output of sane-find-scanner -v -v after the
change, please?
