An interesting bit of info I have just got from Umax below. Frankly it makes<br>
|
|
me laugh that Umax think they have something special in their parallel<br>
|
|
scanner interface. Even a modest amount of proding around in the driver<br>
|
|
(like loading udepp16.dll into a binary editor), clearly shows that they<br>
|
|
are doing parallel-to-SCSI. They may have cut some of the fluff from the<br>
|
|
SCSI protocol, and introduced compression, but this is definatly not<br>
|
|
rocket science stuff or worth protecting with NDA's.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
: However, as in the early days of SCSI scanners, UMAX have developed a<br>
|
|
: number of technologies unique to the parallel interface that increase<br>
|
|
: the data throughput, address compatibility issues etc - these are<br>
|
|
: being licensed to other scanner and printer manufacturers.<br>
|
|
: Documentation that discloses these details is stricly controlled,<br>
|
|
: however later versions may be released under NDA or freely to the<br>
|
|
: public domain, but omit confidential information. Irrespective of the<br>
|
|
: SDK used, in principal we have no problem with the source code being<br>
|
|
: available (as is the case for many thid party drivers for our SCSI<br>
|
|
: scanners).<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I'am going to have a go at getting Windows 3.1 running under DOSEMU, and<br>
|
|
see if I can get enough info that way to start.<br>
