Hi Norbert,

that's bad luck so far as these devices are currently not supported!
The new generation of Plustek USB-devices seem to contain a 
Genesys Logic chipset inside, which is not supported by any SANE
backend so far. 
As my contact to Plustek seems to get lost somehow, I don't expect,
that I will be able to write a driver....

Sorry
  Gerhard
