Support for Canon LiDE 80

[Vital Mission Software]

I would like to see if I can get my LiDE 80 to work. It is marked as
unsupported since 2007-01-28. It appears in the udev/libsane.rules, but
not in genesys_devices.c. However, that does include support for LiDE
up to 60 and I note that the tables for 50 and 60 differ in only one
number.

Would it be safe to copy the 60 table and call it the 80 table?

If so, is it likely to work?

Keith Harwood.

That does not work out of the box, see the thread starting at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2005-December/015752.html

Here is another attempt to get it to work:

I don't remember exactly how far the two attempts got, skimming the
emails i get the impression that the motor control worked, but the
optical system could not be coaxed to deliver data.
