<i>&gt; &gt; Unfortunately my technical experience with SANE is very</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; limited at the moment. I have perused the website and</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; gathered some information on it. I would be very</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; interested in any recommended sample code that I could</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; see, as that would significantly increase my understanding</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; of SANE, as well as give me a better idea of how far away</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; we are at an engineering level from achieving some of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; ideas we've discussed these last two days...</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; In general there is one programmer for a backend (driver),</i><br>
<i>&gt; we have about 20 backends in the recent distribution.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; There are more backens developed and available on the web, they</i><br>
<i>&gt; are in alpha state and not included into the official release.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; The question is only to sate my curiousity (I've this</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; feeling that if these discussions proceed to their</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; potential outcome that I will be writing a SANE driver</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; eventually)... :)</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I think it would make the discussions and the progress</i><br>
<i>&gt; to connect TWAIN and SANE more easy if one of our group</i><br>
<i>&gt; knows the TWAIN standard and one of the TWAIN</i><br>
<i>&gt; group (YOU) knows the SANE standard very well.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
I took a browse through Kodak's website, specifically their document<br>
scanner line. It seems as though another interesting and beneficial<br>
project would be to get SANE drivers under development for Kodak's<br>
scanner line. Perhaps Mark could assist in getting the necessaries<br>
(specs, demo scanner, etc) to the appropriate SANE developer(s) and <br>
use this project as a way to get himself and colleagues familiar with<br>
the details of creating a SANE backend. Then when the Twain-&gt;SANE <br>
interoperability is developed, there are more supported scanners to<br>
control!<br>
<p>
KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Document Scanner 5500 <br>
KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Document Scanner 7500 <br>
KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Document Scanner 9500 <br>
KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Document Scanner/Microimager 990 <br>
KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Scanner 3500 <br>
<p>
These all are SCSI based scanners, are high-speed, with feeders, <br>
compression, etc. This will go a long way towards getting some of the<br>
frame/compression format issues ironed out or at least closer to the<br>
front burner.<br>
<p>
Mark, is this possible? Could you facilitate this? What can we do<br>
to help?<br>
