Hi,

I've done some tests here with the ST24 and rewrote some parts of
the code, that the warmup and calibration stuff gets passed on it.
The major problem of the current genesys code is, that it is tied to
a UMAX device. All the settings specific to CCD and DAC (and motor)
are only valid for this scanner. This needs to be tweaked. I did this
here, but the code is not available so far ....
