Well hey. If you're looking for something rather esoteric, I've got an
ancient Logitech handheld scanner that I wouldn't mind seeing a driver
for. There's supposed Linux drivers out there (didn't try too hard, but
it didn't work for me) and a Win 3.1 driver that doesn't work on Win95 or
newer.
I'd be willing to FedEx it somewhere in the states if you're hard up for
something to write a driver for :^)
