Yeah, that would be me then. Nathan Robertson and I have been trying to
decipher the documentation for the relevent chipsets for a few weeks now
(admittedly I've had other things on my mind recently, but I hope to get
something useful done before September).
I left some more details in http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~phucq/scanner/ if
you want to have a look, or you could help us develop a driver. ;-)
We are currently investigating the hp4200 driver as some kind of starting
point, since that has the same National Semiconductor chip but a different
EPP-to-USB bridge. Perhaps someone knowledgeble about that driver could
point us in the right direction. :-)
