The Acer Vuego 610S and 610plus are not supported by the SnapScan driver at
present. The Prisa 620S, which is the model which replaced them, is (at least
partially) supported. I added the SCSI recognition string for the 610plus
(maybe the string is different for the 610S - I don't really know the
difference between the two, but my machine is a 610plus), and treated the
machine otherwise like a 620S. This gets me where I am right now. Scans, a
few quirks, and an offset between red green and blue.
If the SnapScan driver is a poor orphan, then maybe I'll do some more work on
it. I don't have any other scanners to try my resulting code with, though.
To anyone using the SnapScan driver:
How well does it function for you right now, and which model scanner do you
have?
