<i>&gt; Hi,</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; I've asked Primax technical support about protocol specification of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Primax 9600D scanners, and they have told me that they do not release any</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; such documents, and only that the scanner is compatible with Plustek Optic</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Pro 9630P. I want to write the driver for the 9600D scanner, however I</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; wonder now, from where can I get the needed info. Maybe someone on the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; list has the info about one of these scanners? Or, could you tell me from</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; where such info is usually available? And, maybe do you plan to support</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the Plustek 9630P scanners?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; These scanners have the same model number as those produced by Pacific</i><br>
<i>&gt; Image Electronics Inc. I'm currently going through the mill with them</i><br>
<i>&gt; for the technical documentation for the scanners. I will start writing</i><br>
<i>&gt; the drivers when I've got all the info. I would be very interested in</i><br>
<i>&gt; seeing whether Primax scanners return the same ID information as my PIE</i><br>
<i>&gt; device. My scanner is rebadged as "Black Widow" and its model number</i><br>
<i>&gt; 9630SP. When it's connected to the SCSI bus and I reboot my Linux box,</i><br>
<i>&gt; I get the following lines in /var/log/messages :-</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; ... basil kernel: Vendor: PIE Model: ScanAce II Rev: 2.21</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; ... basil kernel: Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Do you get anything like this ?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; When I've finally got the legal details sorted out, (I've got an NDA to</i><br>
<i>&gt; sign) then anybody should be able to get the same details from PIE and</i><br>
<i>&gt; develop their own drivers, providing they sign the NDA.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; It's a slow job at the moment because of other commitments but I will</i><br>
<i>&gt; get there :-)</i><br>
<p>
Primax 9600D is connected via paraller port, so I do not get any messages<br>
about it while Linux starts. <br>
<p>
Maybe, if Primax told me their 9600D scanners are compatible with that<br>
model of Plustek, there is something like a standarized language<br>
available somewhere, or these models use the same chip type? <br>
<p>
I'll try yet to ask Plustek for some info.<br>
