I'm having the exact same problems with an LS30. I sent an email out to
andreas.rick@free.fr, but go no response. I figure he's probably out on
vacation and enjoying himself.
Anyway, I've tried 1.0.2 patched to recognize the device, the
patched version (sane-1.0.2_coolscan043.tgz) and a cvs checkout version,
all without success.
All three seem to be able to communicate with the scanner and they
position the negative when you press the 'preview' or 'scan' buttons, but
the scanfiles come out extremely tiny and in preview mode, the preview
area remains white.
I've also tried using the -T option to scanimage and it says something
about an 'unexpected end of file'.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had luck getting any newer
coolscans to work with any version of SANE.
