Documentation: ColorPage-SF600 is supported

I e-mailed the maintainer of the backend, but haven't heard
anything
back, I thought I'd say something here too.

The ColorPage-SF600 is supported by the gt68xx backend. 
It's just a
repackage of the
OpticSlim M12.  It uses the same firmware.  I was able to
get it
working simply by adding the PID and VID to the config file,
setting
the override to the M12, and supply the firmware.

The version I tested with was v1.0.17.

Sorry, I must have missed your mail.

Thanks for your report. I'll add the scanner to the source
code and
gt68xx.conf so manual work shouldn't be necessary in future.

How well does it work?

Bye,

No problem.  The scanner seems to work exactly as the
OpticSlim M12 is
documented to work.  I was able to scan in grayscale, and
color at
different DPIs, but lineart was coming out all white. 
However, like
the M12, there didn't seem to be any calibration, so the
images that
did scan correctly were very light and washed out...  in
fact, that
seemed to be the reason the lineart images were always all
white.  I
think that everything was scanning in so light that nothing
was being
detected as black in the lineart scans.

The scanner comes with a calibration sheet, but I wasn't
sure if there
was any way to use it with sane.  I assume not...
