That's good because that means that there are many people who can help
you writing the backend. Have you already started? In this case I'd
add a link to your web page where some more info or even code for the
backend is found.

In case you don't get what I'm talking about: :-)
Backends for completely new chipsets are usually written by someone
who owns such a device. Most of the time the current SANE developers
don't start writing completely new backends as maintaining the older
ones (and adding scanners to those) takes already wuite a lot of time.

Documentation about writing backends can be found at the Contrbuting
section of our website.

Bye,
