New plea / thread regarding Mustek 600 III EP Plus

Well, after browsing through the archives of this list, I've seen
two different threads about the Mustek 600 III EP Plus parallel
scanner appear and disappear over the past year or so. The most
recent one, from February, seemed to imply that developers were
waiting for Wine to catch up to a point where TWAIN could run under
it successfully and a developer could snoop the driver <-> scanner
conversation.

Is this still the status? Could this actually happen under an
actual Windows install, but there are no SANE developers that have
Windows installed? What needs to happen to get this clunky little
scanner supported?

I'm not a coder of any skill at all, so I can't contribute to this
directly, but if there are milestones toward this end that I can
help with, I'd be glad to -- it's in my (and my company's) interest
for me to stop booting back to Win95 just to scan; this can also
free up a Photoshop license for us to use elsewhere.

So, how can I get this ball rolling? Whom can I help, and in what
way(s)? I follow directions well, so if a developer wants to send
me info on how to capture the scanner's convo under Windows, I can
do that. Or anything. Do tell.

Thanks in advance.
