Hi,<br>

<i>&gt; where such info is usually available? And, maybe do you plan to support</i><br>
<i>&gt; the Plustek 9630P scanners?</i><br>
<p>
These scanners have the same model number as those produced by Pacific<br>
Image Electronics Inc. I'm currently going through the mill with them<br>
for the technical documentation for the scanners. I will start writing<br>
the drivers when I've got all the info. I would be very interested in<br>
seeing whether Primax scanners return the same ID information as my PIE<br>
device. My scanner is rebadged as "Black Widow" and its model number<br>
9630SP. When it's connected to the SCSI bus and I reboot my Linux box,<br>
I get the following lines in /var/log/messages :-<br>
<p>
... basil kernel: Vendor: PIE Model: ScanAce II Rev: 2.21<br>
<p>
... basil kernel: Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02<br>
<p>
Do you get anything like this ?<br>
<p>
When I've finally got the legal details sorted out, (I've got an NDA to<br>
sign) then anybody should be able to get the same details from PIE and<br>
develop their own drivers, providing they sign the NDA.<br>
<p>
It's a slow job at the moment because of other commitments but I will<br>
get there :-)<br>
<p>
Regards,<br>
<p>
