[sane-devel] SpoonSet beta driver

2003-09-29 Thread Thomas VIAL
Hi! I have put the very first SpoonSet package on my website: http://www.el-profesor.net/spoonset/?page=10. It contains a port of the Windows driver + a frontend program. The programs don't fit into the SANE framework yet, it's still all proprietary. If you own a scanner from Spot Technologies,

Hi! A quick note for the 2 or 3 people (that includes me) who need a backend for Spot flatbed scanners -- the devices with the proprietary ISA board and the DB25 connector that looks like a parallel plug. The porting of the Windows driver is nearly done; I think only a few things need tweaking be

Hi! I've begun "publishing" my work on Spot scanners. It's not yet very advanced, but it's meant to be the reference for my investigations. You can find it at http://www.el-profesor.net/spoonset/. Comments of all sorts are welcome! Thomas = S'os aist Diex !

Well, that's fair of you! Also, I use Yahoo! Mail and by default, "unusual" headers like the List-* are hidden. And you must admit that there is no explicit hint in the message bodies as to how you can unsubscribe (though there is a direct link to the mailing list page -- maybe the guy was just la

Hi Alex, Just a quick note to say that no guarantee can be given as to when a new driver/backend will be available! I shouldn't be wrong in saying that everybody working on those various projects are doing this in their spare time... Thomas --- Alex a écrit : > Respected Henning! > > Inform

Hi! I'm working on a driver for my scanner, which has a 16-bit Spot ISA card. It's a MaxiScan A4 but I think it's been rebadged by several companies. Some questions though: - is it really an SCSI interface? I know nothing about SCSI; all I can tell is that to drive my scanner, you have to map t

Hi, (long post) I'm considering writing a driver and backend for my scanner, which, to my knowledge, is not supported yet. For info, here are some specs & numbers I could find on it (I think it used to be shipped under various brand names and models): - name: MaxiScan A4 - interface: proprietary
