I have read a bit more on how to add things to backends, and also downloaded the CVS backend code. After a couple of searches for USB snoop successes and GL841/843 devices, I have some leads on where to start adding things in. However, there is as yet no GL843 code, I think, in the backends. Is anyone else interested in helping me with this (preferably with more experience)? I have plenty of patience to go through log files (with helpful scripts gleaned from other web pages). I have the GL841 and GL843 data sheets too, and since the 8800F is a 4800dpi device, if it uses a genesys chip it would be a GL843 rather than a GL841 (there is also a newer GL845 but I could not find a data sheet and in any case, it supports up to 9600dpi which this scanner does not have). Any feedback most welcome. Gernot
