I have put the latest release of the GI1904 hand-scanner driver on
freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/asc.tgz

The archive includes the driver, a diff file for the relevant kernel
sources (i386/conf.c, conf/files.i386, isa/isa.h, /dev/MAKEDEV), a man
page, and installation directions. The driver still has a minor bug
related to the abort of a DMA operation, but it works reasonably well
(and it has a working "select()").

I would be grateful if these sources could be included in some of
the source trees, and possibly in the snapshot so that people have
a chance to try it out. [BTW: I don't know what is the policy about
inclusion of new drivers in the -stable and snapshots. My idea is
that this would give people a chance of trying out the code without
too much impact on stability, and is also good for pushing FreeBSD on
the "market"].

	Thanks
	Luigi
