[sane-devel] Artec USB scanner information

[Henning Meier-Geinitz]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out about Artec USB scanners. I've different
reports for the same models so I hope someone has more information.
I'm mostly interested in the models that use Grandtech GT-6801 or 6816
chips.

Here is what I know:

Artec Ultima 2000
  There are at least two models: 
  1) Vendor 0x05d8 Product 0x4001: has a Winbond W6662CF and a
     POWERVISION PV108630-C2L chip. I'm not sure, if it's supported by
     any backend.
     
  2) Vendor 0x05d8 Product 0x4002: GT-6801 Chip. Seems to come in two
     flavours: one that works with the ePlus2k.usb firmware and one
     that uses Gt681xfw.usb. The Medion/Tevion/Lifetec/Cytron MD 9385
     seems to be a clone of that one. Supported by the gt68xx backend,
     at least the Cytron works definitely.
  
Artec Ultima 2000e+
  I don't know the vendor and product ids. However, There is a similar
  looking scanner from Medion, the MD 9458. That one has Vendor 0x05d8
  Product 0x4002 (too!).
  
Artec 1236 USB
  No information

Artec E+ 48U
  Vendor 0x05d8 Product 0x4003: Supported by the tevion9693 backend.
  Based on GT6816 chip. MD 9693 + 9705 and Trust Easy Webscan seem to
  be clones.
  
Artec E+ Pro
  No information.
  
Artec e+ 1200/2400
  Vendor 05d8 ProdID 4004. Doesn't seem to be supported currently.
  
Bye,
  Henning
