Forgot to mention one thing though.  You need to remove the GT-X900
entry from the `fs-blacklist` file to activate the device's extended
command set for use by the backend.
# The Perfection V700 is marketed as a GT-X900 in Japan.

Note that the device has not been tested in this setup at all and things
may not work as they should (although I do not expect any serious bugs).
Whether things work for you or not, we'd like to know so we may remove
the device from our blacklist.

Hope this helps,
