I didn't see stripes with the 19990704 version of Wine, but as you know
certainly, the image is rather small, so I'm not sure 100% that there
aren't any stripes... Compared to a "real" Windows scantest scan, the
image seems to be the same.

No, unfortunately, scantest32 is the only one that works. The 16bit ASPI
doesn't work, and as I have only a very old Win3.1, I suspect that
scanning with a "real" Win32 application requires some system dll's which
I don't have (all these programs crash or block before being able to scan
anything). Wine was asking for some dll's which I copied from a Win95
machine into Wine's System directory, but without success. Now at least
Wine doesn't ask for them, but still no scans :)

No as I remember, but will have a look onto this at home.
Another point: there is an option calibrate-bakend or so in Bernd's
version of microtek2, and before he disappeared from the list, Bernd tried
to make this backend calibration work for the Phantom 636cx.
Unfortunately, the backend was unable to determine (?) the length of the
horizontal calibration line because of some spurious bytes, as I
understood it (for the exact explanation, see Bernd's mails on this
list in december-january), and it crashed when this option was on.

I'll post you them this evening.
Thanks again.
