<P>Hello,
<BR>
<P>for someone from your company I've been waiting for a long time.
<BR>
<P>Firstly, do you know that a scanner driver for Linux is a two level affair ?
<BR>
<P>There's a logical driver and a physical driver.
<BR>
The logical driver is a SANE backend. You posted on SANE's list.
<BR>
If the SANE people need help they'll doubtlessly fill your mailbox.
<BR>
<P>Then there's the physical driver. That's part of the kernel.
<BR>
In the past this was a generic SCSI driver.
<BR>
As you started making USB scanners, this is no longer true.
<BR>
By the way do you do in firewire, too ?
<BR>
<P>If you are talking USB, you need to talk to me.
<BR>
Current status might be interresting to you.
<BR>
X6 basically works, but is buggy.
<BR>
No other USB scanner you make is known to
<BR>
work. In fact two models are known not to work.
<BR>
<P>I need documentation and a way to do testing on
<BR>
several types.
<BR>
<P>Please contact me.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regards
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oliver Neukum
<BR>

<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I wrote half of it, too)
<BR>
