That's funny, I looked and didn't see any supported Fujitsu scanners on the sane
homepage or in the backend distribution. What does it emulate? I use a Sharp
JX-610 with is an 11x14 hi res color scanner under sane 1.0.4, and am very happy
with it. I also bought mine used for less than $100 (included the still unwrapped
transparency backlight). I once saw one on some dealer's web page for $10K+ 8-).
