I did 8x10 scanning back off CIS Canon Lido several years ago for Sinar P2, at that time there was no SANE Lido support and I had to hack quite a bit.
Recently I've seen Lido support added - for $80 for scanner it worth trying. Note - even after I made it work there were problems with few missed scan lines and some other image artifacts. I may dig for my old source, but I suggest give new Lido a shot. PS. Also if anybody did something similar for CCD scanners - please post your findings.
