AFAIK, the V350 as well as the V100 are only supported via iscan's
epkowa backend.  Both require a binary-only non-free plugin that is
only available for i386 machines.  If you can live with that, the V350
works under linux.

# The GT-F700 and GT-F650 are the model names for the Japanese market.
# They do not refer to the chipset.

Hope this helps,
