I'm not sure if the USB patch works with SANE 1.0.1 I understand it
works with 1.0.2. You need to edit the snapscan.c files to enable it,
though. Scan the files for snapscan-usb.c, and you should find an
include which is commented out. Enable it and rebuild.
I have produced an updated snapscan driver at
ftp://www.coppice.org/pub/snapscan/snapscan-20000514.tar.gz This fixes
a color alignment problem with the driver, but I don't know what else it
may have broken. It works OK for my Acer 610+, but that is the only
scanner I have tried it with. I haven't had a lot of feedback from other
people. This driver is now in the latest CVS copy of SANE, if you want
to grab that and try it.
