	Thanks for the data. The bug in start of scan area detection is due to the 
fact the plastic used in the casing is darker than the one used to develop 
the backend. So detection of a black strip in a white area fails. Top of the 
strip is detected OK, but bottom detection fails.
	I will change the detection function to only use the 'top' since only this 
value is reliable for MD6228 and MD6471 models.
	Will look into black and white scan modes problems when this bug will be 
fixed, since it possibly gives negative offset that would confuse the scanner 
like you saw.
	For the backward/forward moves at high resolution, like you allready guessed, 
it is a USB bandwidth issue. Scanning head pauses until th PC read all the 
data.
