It's here. There is some weirdness in coolscan.c, though: The ASF option
is described as --source "Automatic Slide Feeder" and source[] contains
that string, but there is a strcmp on "Automatic...". With that bit
corrected and some eject stuff copied from coolscan2, it almost
works, but practically every time jams (half-ejects the slide back into
the SF-100 magazine).

I'm still not sure wether it's software, hardware (one of four seemingly
redundant rubber belts in the SF-100 unit is torn) or my slightly
rounded slide frames (bonum) ...  

If I get it to work (halfways) properly I'll send a patch, of course;
meanwhile has anybody got any suggestions?
