[sane-devel] Visioneer OneTouch 8920 USB and VuPoint Filmscanner

[m. allan noah]

Our info indicates that this (and many other) Visioneer machines are
RTS8801 chipset. Sane has an RTS8891 backend, it might be possible to
modify that to work with the older chipset. Not sure if it is worth
the time, reverse engineering can be fun, but also very frustrating.

Of course, I would also gladly listen to any advice, including "forget it", if that should be appropriate for whatever reason.  I have written UNIX drivers in a former life - but no USB drivers (USB didn't exist back then - that should give you a hint).
