Subject: Anyone done any SCSI scanner support work?

I just got my hands on a Mustek 800II/SP flatbed scanner, a really
cheap little SCSI scanner with 800x400 optical resolution (internally
doubled to 800x800 with interpolation).  At $389 you really can't get
a cheaper flatbed, and as much as I'd expect the thing to look and
behave like a hunk-o-junk at this price, it actually seems like a
fairly solid little beast.  Just no drivers. :-)

I've looked into PINT a little, and it supports the earlier Mustek
MFS06000CX and MFS12000CX scanners so perhaps there's hope, but the
thing is still extremely NetBSD-centric and before diving on it (hah)
I'd like to at least check into whether or not anyone has already
invented this particular wheel.

PINT may be obtained at:
	ftp://alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu/pub/pint/pint-0.5e.tar.gz

For anyone curious enough to look.  I also know about XVScan, the
commercial product, but it only supports the HP ScanJet.
