No. But see the pictures of the Umax AstraSlim 600: http://www.zonemicro.com/article.php?ID=281 and a picture of the Teco VM 6509C: http://www.tecoimage.com.tw/English_Home_Page/Products_Page/prod-VM6509C.htm They look like identical except for the color. So that Umax scanner is definitly a rebadged Teco. Teco also have a VM6509 which has the id 080D-0102. That 6509C is probably an evolution. In the vm6509 driver there is that string: TECO VM6509 The five Teco scsi scanner have a similar string in their inquiry. So may be that scanner is a scsi one with a usb interface. A USB trace with usbsnoop would confirm that. Frank.
