Hi, I am going to buy an Acer ScanWit 2720S film scanner and so I have some strange questions. Please do not get angry if this is a severe off-topic here.
First, I know that there is currently no SANE backend for ScanWit. Does anybody do any work to build one? Does anybody know of some software to support this scanner? I already know of Vuescan, but that's not Open Source :-) And last, a stupid question. If I buy such a scanner, make it work with Vuescan, and do a full dump of SCSI dialog during scan, or multiple scans -- will it help me or somebody to make at least some open source support for ScanWit? Or this is too hard, or this is ``reverse engineering'' and so unlawful, or what? ScanWit is (according to the Net) an excellent scanner, especially for the price, and it is a pity there is no support for it... Happy New Year, and sorry for possible off-topic, -- Max Ushakov <usha...@mccme.ru>
