You have a point; it's a dog of a card. On the other hand, it can't
reduce scanner performance very much because the chip in the scanner,
at least the one in mine (and I don't think they change much from
year to year) is a 5380, which is the same as the functional core
of the UDS-11. :-)

I do not know if the card is supported by Alan's improved driver
without interrupts; certainly without interrupts it will not work
very well under Linux. I imagine that if we say "this card is not
very well supported; you have to solder interrupt pins on it in
order to make it work correctly", very few people will try to
use it...
