since i require an inexpensive A3 scanner, i plan on purchasing one of
these soon, i have not found any other options.  Mustek appears to have
a linux driver on their Taiwanese website, although i read reports here
of it not working.  if all else fails i will attempt to install Windows
XP in a virtual machine and use the scanner through there, which was
also a possible solution i read on this list.

naturally i would want to help develop a working sane driver.  i do not
program but i have a degree in computer engineering so my background
should be adequate enough to provide some help, given there is someone
to provide me with suitable advice on how precisely to help.
