<P>
Thanks for the comments so far. It does sound like I will not be
<BR>
&nbsp;overlapping with other peoples work very much.
<BR>
<P>A minor clarification on what I'm also planning on doing. I did
<BR>
&nbsp;mention that it would probably have compile problems currently on
<BR>
&nbsp;other platforms. This is probably not true since no one uses any
<BR>
USB specific ioctl() calls that could fail. Right now its all
<BR>
&nbsp;read()/write()'s. In that regard I was thinking more along the lines
<BR>
&nbsp;of future USB drivers that could kill compiles if they accessed
<BR>
&nbsp;ioctl()'s.
<BR>
<P>Also, at least on Linux most of the usb work is done by scanner.o.
<BR>
&nbsp;Therefore I'd like to make a generic wrapper in case other platforms
<BR>
&nbsp;don't do as much work. Also, I'm thinking of moving the current USB
<BR>
&nbsp;code from the snapscan driver that simulates sanei_scsi_cmd()
<BR>
&nbsp;function calls and turns them into USB calls. Since current USB
<BR>
&nbsp;devices are usually SCSI over USB it should be handy (can be shared
<BR>
&nbsp;between the epson and snapscan today even).
<BR>
<P>This part is lower on my feature wishlist. I'll be working on the
<BR>
&nbsp;config files and a way to make SCSI and USB scanners coexist happily
<BR>
&nbsp;at first.
<BR>
<P><PRE>
