	Hello,

	the files you'll have to modify are genesys.conf.in, genesys_devices.c, 
genesys_gl646.c and genesys_gl646.h . One first thing to do is to add you 
scanner model to genesys.conf and genesys_devices.c . For a start I would 
simply clone the medion_md5345_model entry into a umax_astra_4100, change the 
device description strings and reference it in the genesys_usb_device_list at 
the end of the file. Sometimes scanners are simply clones, and I wouldn't be 
surprised that the MD5345 is a clone of the 4100.
	Compile and try it. When developping I always test the binaries with a 
script like the one appended. Placed in the backend subdir it runs the 
scanimage with the compiled version.
	If we are lucky, it may just work. If not, we'll have to study how this 
scanner works under windows by recording USB activity using Usbsnoop.

Regards,
	Stef
