<p>
A scanner and technical documentation for the protocol used to talk to<br>
the scanner. You will need to talk to primax to get that technical<br>
documentation, of course. If you intend to be a developer, getting that<br>
documentation will be what you need to do. If you are trying to find<br>
someone else to write the driver, you will need to provide them with<br>
a scanner. It's extremely hard to write a driver for a scanner that<br>
you do not have, especially if it isn't related to one you have. I<br>
wrote the UMAX driver for my S6, and despite the fact that I wrote the<br>
driver to be reasonably easy to extend to support other scanners, it<br>
took a LOT of trial and error to support some other scanners in the<br>
UMAX line. And UMAX is relatively good about keeping their scanners<br>
similar and pretty much following their technical documentation...<br>
<p>
Good luck!<br>
