Nothing will ever be done on 2.2.x releases. The 3.1 is now stable and
has the ppbus framework (the FreeBSD parport-like system). But ppbus has
no support for any kind of IDE hardware, nor any scanner.

Yes I can. There's nothing :) I have no such hardware and nobody asked for
the driver. But if there was a peripheral to choose, I'd choose the HP7200
because you had some impressive succes with it.
