Even though I'm a Linux user myself, I would welcome a Win32 SANE version<br>
|
|
(especially the NET middleware), as this would allow my wife to access my<br>
|
|
scanner over ethernet from her laptop.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I don't believe there is any restriction with the SANE code which would<br>
|
|
prevent one from porting it to Windows. In fact, this has been discussed<br>
|
|
several times here, but there have not been the right combinations of skill,<br>
|
|
desire, and experience with SANE, TWAIN, and Windows to get the job done.<br>
|
|
I think this would be a very useful addition to SANE. It sounds like you<br>
|
|
have the skill and experience to do this -- good luck. Let us know any<br>
|
|
results that you have (I would be happy to be a beta tester).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Cheers, Andreas<br>
