Hi,

I've too purchased a Canon Lide 35. The first 2-3 weeks of July I'll
have a lot of time to help getting the thing working. I've got some C
programming experience. I've got a spare machine on which I can run
windows to get logs.
After some reading in the mailing list archives, I found out a lot of
people started trying to get this backend work, but why didn't anyone
succeed yet? Is it because they underestimated the difficulties and gave
in?  Or just a lack of time?

Have they left a "report" about their experiences? What did they try,
where did they get stuck? Maybe they couldn't write any code, but maybe
they found something out about how the scanner works? Where did they
find information?

And those who are working on it: can you give me some help some to get
me working please? I'll join the irc when I've finished my exams (that
won't be until the end of this month).

sincerely,

Tom Mercelis
