I guess I could ;-)

As the EPSON drivers say, this is a GT-F600.  It does not speak ESC/I.
It will be supported by iscan's epkowa backend in the near future (but
first we'll get a release for a bunch of all-in-ones).

FYI, it is closely related to the GT-9400 (Perfection 3170 PHOTO)
which is supported as of iscan-1.6.0.
