that's a hub (the I line). I can't remember the order the lines appear in,
and I don't have a linux machine here.

Are there any other devices listed?
(or post the whole file).

it doesn't use the kernel scanner driver.

Get the latest drivers from sm3600.sourceforge.net, and compile it.

Then you have scantool (IIRC), and that will try to do a scan with the
scanner (you'll probably want the -O option to stop it trying to go back to
the beginning of the scan area).

At the moment, the scans aren't really useable in colour. The guys are
looking into it, but it seems the gain is way too high, and even when I turn
brightness and contrast right down, the colours are all wrong. It may be
usable in black and white mode though.
