there's only the source-forge stuff available so far...

Well the Lide20 and also the 650 is supported although the picture
quality is not that good...
What can you do:
- Download SANE-1.0.10 sources
- check file backend/plustek-devs.c for the canoscan 650 entries
esp. in the "Settings" Table. Duplicate the entry and simply
replace product id by the one of the 646.
- recompile and install SANE
This simply uses the settings of the 650, it might work...
