Not quite, they feel they have developed a fancy ASIC for controlling<br>
|
|
scanners over the parallel port. The problem is that the only copy of<br>
|
|
the parallel port protocol is bound in with the ASIC design, which<br>
|
|
the do want to protect, they also appear to have licensed the ASIC<br>
|
|
design to other scanner manufactures.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Frankly anyone wanting to use an ASIC that only does SPP and EPP modes<br>
|
|
needs their heads examining. Yes that's right no ECP support and not<br>
|
|
even any PS/2 support.<br>
