A scanmaker 330CS --should-- work with the microtek2 backend. However, 
I don't know if sombody has it running.  

I'm not sure if the trich with the USB-converter will work. There is a 
special kernel module for microtek USB scanners but I suppose it has at 
least to be modified for working with an converter.
