Hmm perhaps this is what you are referring to with the asc and
gsc devices, but i had a Logitech ScanMan 32 (which i think spoke
very similar language to both the ScanMan+ and the ScanMan256,
both of them on a proprietary? bus-mouse looking card. That i
got to work (well short of decent scan-speed compensation) under
an ancient Linux kernel. .. you may be able to dig up that code, and
beat it into submission somehow. .. (it involved several kernel mods
at the time) which is really the kind of attitude i tried to get away
from by running FreeBSD, but good luck anyhow.
