I must admit, that I don't know what the extension "DP" means, but with
regards to the slide adapter:

On ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/microtek2-pre0.6.291298.tar.gz

is a version of the backend, that should support this adapter. However,
this is completely untested, and I don't know if it works.
