Write to Marcio directly, I haven't seen him on this list for quite
some time. He may not be active anymore. Still try to contact him.
If he doesn't answer, it's up to you :-)
Obviously, you can ask for help here. Once the code doesn't break the
already working scanner, we can add it into our development CVS.

I haven't checked your changes but the general approach is to check
for the USB ids in sane_init (or sane_open) and set a flag accordingly
for the device that was just detected. In the actual code you just do
something like

if (scanner->type == SCAN_TYPE2100)
  go the 2100 way...
else
  do the old stuff

everywhere where you changed something.

Bye,
