Hi everyone,

I am new on to the list so please forgive me if I am not up to date on 
all the development.
I have looked through the archives a bit and read the docs. 

I used to use sane with my Umax scanner, however the durn thing does not 
like me
anymore and I think it will soon make it's way to the garbage. 

The new scanner LiDE500F does not seem to be supported with the currently
released backends.  From the docs I have read it appears the support for 
gl841
should be part of the genesys backend. 

Now my questions:
1. What is the current status of the driver?
2. Is anyone working on the 841 chipset support?
3. What is a good reference (besides the existing genesys source code) 
to help
    with the driver implementation?

Sincerely

Greg

will there also be support for the gl841 as used in some Canon LiDE
scanners?
As i do not programm i'm willing to do any support work i can do to make
this scanner work with sane (test scans, protocol sniffing e.g.)
I got a LiDE35 here. Running WindowsXP and gentoo .. so give me anything
i can do and i'll do it (except hardcore programming which i
unfortunately never learned... bnut if anyone is willing to teach me
some things i can do later on alone..)
