<P>I believe support for Linux and Sane from Microtek is a good thing.

At this moment there is not much development for the microtek
|
|
<BR>
|
|
backends.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Bernd Schroeder is/was the maintainer of the microtek2 (scsi2)
|
|
<BR>
|
|
backend, but he has not worked on it this year. It's rather unclear if
|
|
<BR>
|
|
he will continue maintaining. Karsten Festag is working now to add
|
|
<BR>
|
|
support for the Phantom 330.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I would not know in which way you could help him, he might be the one
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to tell you that.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>You're saying "newer scanners". I guess you mean scsi2 scanners. It
|
|
<BR>
|
|
would be nice though if you could do something for the microtek
|
|
<BR>
|
|
(scsi1) backend. There is no maintainer anymore for the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
microtek backend, the maintainer Matto Marjanovic disappeared last
|
|
<BR>
|
|
year.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
My Microtek Pagewiz (sheetfed) worked with a modified 0.10 backend on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
sane 1.0.1, but i never got it to work (i/o error) with the 0.12
|
|
<BR>
|
|
backend on sane 1.0.2. I'm using a microtek2 scanner now, but a lot
|
|
<BR>
|
|
of people use microtek(1) scanners, and report problems with them.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I'm sure support on these scanners will be a good thing.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Another thing might be helpfull.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Firmware versions under 1.60 are found buggy with sane. In the past
|
|
<BR>
|
|
some people asked Microtek for firmware upgrades. A few months ago,
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Harald Finster got the firmware version 1.60.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
It woud be a good thing if Microtek made their last version
|
|
<BR>
|
|
available, with documentation how to upgrade. Ofcourse upgrading
|
|
<BR>
|
|
firmware will be on responsibily of the user, in case things go wrong.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>On the website www.torque.net/ppscsi.html there is a kernelpatch for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
parport scanners. It has support for the OnSpec 90c26 chipset, used
|
|
<BR>
|
|
by microtek parport scanners. It is maintained by Tim Waugh.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
It could he needs help in maintaining the onscsi kernelmodule.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
It would be a good thing to ask him, if he can use help on that.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I believe it's a good thing to have Microtek support on Linux and
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Sane. However, you might need to struggle through some mixed emotions.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Support from Microtek hasn't been great in the past. Support to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
end-users has been close to zero. I can't really tell about support
|
|
<BR>
|
|
for developers, but i heard about people who requested for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
documentation and only got old documentation.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Your support could change this, and benefit us all.
|
|
