I'm the one that started the Ultima/Artec backend although I only have the
lowly AT3 myself. I have documentation for the AT3, AT12, and A6000C+ on
my webpage. Can you go to my page and get the latest source and try that?
There have been a few bug-fixes and additions since SANE 0.74 came out,
most of them having to do with things that affected models other than the
AT3 which I have (hey, you can't blame me for getting mine working
first). :-)

This is good...

Haven't tried mine, I put the scanner on an old Adaptec 1542CF card when I
got it. Is this the card included with the scanner?

What about my AT3? :-)

<SNIP stuff about it working partly/mostly configured as an AT6>
It would have to be the one (SCSI) model that I don't have any documentation
for.... :-) It sounds like it is working pretty good for you though. The
AT6 settings were sort of just guessed at since I have docs for both the AT3
and AT12. I don't know what others think, but it might be a good idea to
add code to read an option from the configuration file that would specify
what model was at a certain device... ie. something like this in artec.conf.
# artec.conf file
/dev/scanner
model 4800SP
Where the '4800SP' was whatever model you wanted to force. That would
probably be better than an environment variable. If the model is specified
in the artec.conf file, that would also take care of the get_cap_data
function, because it looks at the model to determine the capabilities.
What does the output of "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" look like for this
scanner? It it identified at all?
