Of course, I understand that. Unfortunately, as much as I would like to 
see the LiDE 80 being supported, at the moment my time doesn't permit 
any work on the code. But since I own one of those scanners, I could 
test it, because that's supposed to be not as time-consuming.
If there is anybody working on supporting the LiDE 80, let me know and 
I'll provide log-files, backtraces, whatever.
