[sane-devel] Minolta DiMAGE Film Scanners

2003-09-22 Thread jjh-sane-de...@vieorhythms.com
Hello, I'm deciding on a film scanner and it appears that either the Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual III or the Scan Elite II will meet my needs. From the SANE supported devices page it looks like the Elite II has an Avision backend and from the SANE/Avision backend FAQ it appears that the Dual II has a

OK, another couple of frontend development questions. 1. How can I determine the native resolution in X and Y of the current scanner ? For my EPSON GT-7000, the epson backend returns resolutions up to 2400, and a default of 50. However EPSONs docs say the native resolution of the scanner is 600 d

Hi all. I've been bravely trying to guess how the Alaris parallel port webcam is working, and I wanted to do some testing. After a study of Parport documents, I have written a small proggie that reads from the ECP port fine, and even get the manufacturers and other data from the cam. I do not see
