Hello Karsten,
Did you made any improvements to the microtek2 backend since I sent you
the debug output from Wine for my Phantom 636CX? If so, could you send me
the latest versions of microtek2.c and microtek2.h? I tried to look at the
debug output, but as a) I don't have any documentation b) I don't speak C,
it wasn't useful to me.
It would be nice to use my Phantom with Linux (it works physically with
Bernd Schroeder's version of microtek2, but the image quality is very
poor).
Thanks,
Levente
