i've seen several questions in this regard here and via email, and the
maintainer seems to have disappeared. it is my understanding that there
hasnt been any change in the backend for some time (ie-before aug 99)

it was my understanding that the acer 610s was already supported (at least
partially) by the snapscan backend, however i dont know if the "vuego
610S/610plus" is a different model. back around august i was talking with
the maintainer about trying to get the backend working properly for the
310S, but then the emails stopped coming back. i've been meaning to take a
look at the code myself but just havent had the time. dont know how much
similarity there is between the 610 and the 310, but i'd be willing to
lend whatever support i can. good luck.
