The Microtek and Polaroid scanners are almost identical, but
they return different strings from the scsi inquiry command.
This keeps the Polaroid scanners from working with the
Microtek software and vice versa. There's nothing to prevent
Polaroid and Microtek from making their software run on
each other's scanners, but they haven't done this.
