<p>
It did compile without any errors (apart from one easily fixable), but<br>
maybe some of the parameters are not useful for NetBSD.  From what I<br>
could see, it looks like it should work.  Maybe the timeout values are<br>
incorrect.<br>
<p>
I've asked if anyone else is running SANE on the NetBSD/Sparc mailing<br>
list.<br>

<p>
I was curious what the commands were, although it's fairly simple to see<br>
the basic command set just by UTSL'ing!  I also wondered if the 4p didn't<br>
respond to some commands, which might explain some of the wierdness I saw.<br>
There was another posting on the list mentioning that the dpi setting went<br>
to 1600 (because nothing came back from the scanner?).<br>

I shall look at this first.  If it has the same problems, I shall investigate<br>
further.  I'll let you know what happens.<br>
