Hi !<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; For the handscanners one can use LHII as an intermediate layer. The bridge</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; to SANE should be pretty trivial. For more advanced scanners, maybe someone</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; could make LHII.V2, maybe making it a little more like SANE.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I will gladly give advice on that topic, as well as an LHII-&gt;SANE bridge,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; if someone finally takes the challenge.</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I am afraid I don't know so I have to ask since you ping to my</i><br>
<i>&gt; curiosity:</i><br>
<p>
Yes - that was the purpose. Maybe we finally find someone doing it.<br>
I'll try to play whatever trick is needed to lure someone into that job ;-).<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; what is LHII? LHII.V2 ?</i><br>
<p>
LHII - Linux Handscanner Ioctl Interface. This is in some sense the<br>
predecessor of SANE, as it inspired many ideas that went into the basic<br>
design of SANE.<br>
It is used by a bunch of kernellevel modules that drive handscanners like<br>
the Logitech scanman (this driver was written by me), The Mustek M800<br>
series, some Genius and a4tec scanners etc.<br>
<p>
A bridge to SANE should be pretty trivial to do and would be quite helpful,<br>
as it would finally unify those two protocols.<br>
<p>
LHII.V2 is something that is not yet defined. the original mail dealt with<br>
some scanner using a proprietary card. If it is not a handscanner or has<br>
advanced options as compared to the ones available at the time logiscan was<br>
written, it might be needed to extend the known LHII interface and make a<br>
V2 of it.<br>
<p>
Now: Any takers ?<br>
<p>
CU, Andy<br>
