Hi, Douglas. Thanks for your answer, things are quite clearer to me now.
Now for the backend problem at hand: I could of course do those sg ioctl's
in the backend, but that should rather be done by sane, not by the
backends. Do you perhaps know whether there are any development plans for
sane to include support for such ioctl's?
