There is probably a 64-bit and a 32-bit Windows driver but the firmware 
should be the same I think.

I have had the same problem with scanning on the 930C. There has been several new patches commited to the git tree the last couple of weeks so try the latest driver from git. I had no time this week to test it but I will test this too next week.

And, I recommend that you CC the linux-media list with as detailed reports as possible of your tests so the poeple working on it get the test results.
