Hi,<br>
<p>
I just subscribed to this mailing list, so this might have been<br>
mentioned before...<br>
<p>
There is a x86 simulator out there called bochs. With some minor<br>
modification to the code such that the ports your scanner is <br>
interested in aren't simulated, you might be able to get it to work<br>
or at least snoop the ports. I had some success with my logitech <br>
scanman color, but only to the point where it tried to do DMA. <br>
In the end it was easier to get it working with Andreas Beck's<br>
logitech driver (although not reliably at higher dpis)...<br>
<p>
Frank.<br>
