I am copying my original reply back to the list since it my be useful to
others.

I don't have a whole lot done with the fi-60F.  Besides the web page,
http://tvcentric.com/notes/fi-60F/ I have another log of a scan, used
the perl script to generate C code w/ libusb, and examining the USB
writes and stuff.  For easy hacking I am using a python program to
figure the scanner out.  I can send you what I have if you'd like.  I
have the scanner initializing, firmware uploading, and a full resolution
colour scan (but I'm stuck figuring out the scan data).

It's not pretty, since I'm just building the commands from byte arrays
and don't really know what properties are being set for the most part.

We are still trying to get some information from Fujitsu but they aren't
doing much.  I am also looking at the Avision AVA6 and the possibility
of sponsoring René to finish the avision2 backend.  The fi-60F is a bit
smaller though so it would be nice to have working.

Again, if there's anything I can do to help just let me know.

Thanks,
-Rob
