I've just uploaded my new version 1.2 of the driver for the GS4500
scanner to

tsx-11.mit.edu: /incoming
ftp.Germany.EU.net: /pub/os/linux/Incoming.EUnet

It is based on the GS4500 driver 1.0 by Richard Lyons
([email-masked], [email-masked])

 *      Changes:
 *      - added automatic detection what io adresses and
 *        dma channel is set on the interface board
 *      - fixed a bug with dma channel selection
 *      - scanner dosn't flash when driver loads
 *      - changed device major to 26 like the other handheld
 *        scanner drivers use (avoids conflict with ibcs and
 *        sound driver)
 *      - added fsync to file_operations table (= NULL)
 *      - adapted scandemo from logitech driver for gs4500
 *      - added the option to create a loadable kernel module
 *      - changed buffer allocation to make
 *        loadable module work
 *      - changed ioctls to be compatible with M105, AC4096 and
 *        Logitech driver
 *      - small changes here and there...
 *
 *      Supported Scanner:
 *      - Genius GeniScan GS4500
 *      ? Genius GeniScan GS4000 (DOS drivers for the GS4000 work
 *        with my GS4500 so I'd assume this driver works with a
 *        GS4000)
 *      ? Genius GeniScan GS4500A (again, just a guess)
