I'm basically in the same boat; Canoscan 4400F owner, driver needed, just joined the mailing list. I am at the point where I have opened up my scanner to read the markings on the ICs, set up a VirtualBox VM running Windows and written a few tools to parse the traffic. The next step is to see how the windows driver uses the scanner. Btw, this info could go on the Canoscan 4400F page: Controller: Genesys GL843 Frontend: Wolfson 8196 Memory: ESMT M12L16161A (512K x 16 bit x 2 SDRAM) Motor driver: AMtek AMM56219 And here are the tools I wrote: http://github.com/andr345/usbtools/tree/master (see the README) Cheers, Andreas
