I have Genius B105 handheld 256 grayscale scanner. The problem is that i
don't have a driver for Linux, and i haven't found one despite searching.

I have been considering the possibility that i would try to do it myself.
So if anyone has driver or is working for it, please reply so i won't waste
my time.

Does anyone have experience that does Genius give datasheets out for their
devices easily? And from who I should ask for it, if they do? (Preferably
email address).

The scanner has a DOS .SYS driver (non-TWAIN compatible), which
disassembled nicely, so I might try to reengineer it, if there aren't other
choices.

Any suggestions? Help? Information? Thanks.
