Having just bought a Mustek A3 parallel port scanner (for UKP 130, instead<br>
of most A3 scanners at UKP 1-2000!) I find that it only has Win95/Win32<br>
drivers so doesn't work with OS/2 ...<br>
<p>
So no surprise there. ;-)<br>
<p>
I was however hoping that SANE, CFM Twain or Solution Technologies might<br>
provide a solution. It seems none does at present, but SANE comes closest<br>
with a couple of parallel port devices, even one by Mustek (although a<br>
slightly different beast). I tried Yuri Dario's OS/2 port, but it didn't<br>
work.<br>
<p>
So my question ... Is there any chance of any development on a Mustek A3 EP<br>
backend (specific or general), and if so is there any way I can help? I'm<br>
no programmer, but I'm more than happy to test stuff and report the<br>
results! (FWIW I also have access to a Primax 4800 parallel port scanner,<br>
in case someone's working on a driver for that too.)<br>
<p>
I look forward to your answer -- but I'll be quite satisfied with a<br>
single-line "Very unlikely to happen within the next year!" etc. as I'm<br>
sure you're busy.<br>
<p>
