Hi,<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; My other question, I'm looking for a film scanner and liked the look</i><br>
<i>&gt; of the Minolta Dimage series, Minolta don't seem to have any</i><br>
<i>&gt; supported scanners. Is this because nobody has tried or is it</i><br>
<i>&gt; because Minolta won't release any information ?</i><br>
<p>
I used to come along and ask this question so I'm happy to provide some<br>
background and see if there is any more news.<br>
<p>
Back in July <a href="mailto:david.r.rose@disney.com">david.r.rose@disney.com</a> told the list:<br>
<i>&gt; Sigh. I've been in communications with Minolta about getting specs</i><br>
<i>&gt; for their scanners for nearly a year now. About three or four months</i><br>
<i>&gt; ago, they told me they were finally preparing a NDA for developers to</i><br>
<i>&gt; sign, which would be available momentarily.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; No news since. Until Minolta releases those specs, a SANE backend</i><br>
<i>&gt; will not be possible.</i><br>
<p>
There was some further discussion about whether WINE could be used to<br>
snoop on the Micro$oft driver and reverse-engineer it. Perhaps David<br>
has an update.<br>
<p>
Before Christmas I'm planning to pull my finger out and buy the Dimage<br>
Scan Dual. If it doesn't work under Linux I won't be able to use it so<br>
that could kick me into doing something about it.<br>
<p>
<p>
Ralph.<br>
