Hi, Daniel.  Thanks for the success report, although I think "hero" is a
bit excessive.  :-)  In any case, I'm glad you're finally up and running.
Also thank you for bearing with me and helping me debug the problem, since
I wasn't able to reproduce it on any of my setups.  (As Martin Fink pointed
out in an earlier success report, you weren't the only one with this problem.)

Yes, functionally the PSC 500 is similar to the R40.  And don't worry; I'll
fix it so "usebecp" is set automatically before I put out a new official
release.  I didn't make it automatic at first so I could get the patch out
there for testing without delaying further for refinement.  (Since then even
I have found it annoying, because I keep forgetting to specify it when I
switch between different peripherals for testing!)

Happy scanning...  :-)
