I've made some scans. They are under
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~sontag/sane/
(last part of the page)

Pierre Willenbrock wrote some patches, but they don't already work,

I think, the main difficulty is the motor control. The scanner make a
terrible noise, bot no move ...

I have not enought experience for patching the appropriate code.

Greetings!
