Hi Nikolay and Stef,

opening an OpticBook 3800 (bottom metal plate and metal shield) I found
a chip with roughly 2x38x26 pins labeled:

GL845
1023H5508401-01G

This is no typo, it really reads GL845. Here is the datasheet for this chip:
http://www.genesyslogic.com/manage/upfile/12416597621.pdf

I would very much appreciate having a working linux driver for OpticBook
3800, since to my knowledge this would be the first (affordable) flatbed
scanner having a book edge and working with linux. Maybe I can
contribute a bit during the next two weeks.

Does anybody on the list know which chip is used in OpticBook 4800? That
device seems roughly twice as fast (and expensive).

Regards,
ibu
