Hi Klaus,
thank you very much!  Yes, it returns 

  [pieusb] model  .......................: 0x002f

This is the same value as for the DigitDia 4000.

It works now but the scanner is not detected unless 'pieusb' is added
to dll.conf .

Done.  Can now run it as a mortal user.

The next problem to solve is to find a suitable ICM file for this
scanner.  Colors are still too dark and incorrect and I doubt that I
can determine the appropriate values manually.  I played with
Gamma/brightness/contrast but the colors are still wrong and I
therefore assume that these values have to be determined separately
for each color.

Iv'e got two DVDs, "CyberView X" and "Adobe Photoshop Elements 6".  On
the "CyberView X" DVD I found a file "Generic Positive.ft" but I fear
that the file format isn't understood be sane.  See an excerpt of this
file below.

How did you solve this problem?  Do you have an appropriate ICM file
for your Reflecta 6000?  I'm not sure whether what I bought is still
complete.

Another thing I have not found out yet is how to make use the slide
transport supported by the scanner.  When I set SANE_DEBUG_PIEUSB=13
and activate "Advance slide", I see

  [pieusb] set advcane [#10] to 1

(there is a typo BTW, s/advcane/advance/) but the same slide is
scanned again when I acquire a new preview.  I have abt. 7200 slides
and I hope that I can digitize them without too much manual surgery.

The new format of pieusb.conf is

  # usb <vendor-id> <device-id> <model-nr> <has-slide-transport>

When I set <has-slide-transport> to 0x01, xsane complains about
IO-errors[1].  On the other hand we have

 # Autodetect (built-in)
 # Reflecta DigitDia 6000 Multiple Slide Scanner
 # usb 0x05e3 0x0142 0x3a 0x01
  
So I assume that 0x01 should be the correct value for my scanner too.

Thanks again and Merry Xmas,
  Reinhard
