Hi !

I'm a little bit tired of that question ...
There is a kernel driver for the Logi scanman 32 and 256 (must be a kernel
driver, the card uses IRQ and DMA) called logiscan, which should be available
from all major linux archives, e.g. sunsite.

It uses LHII, Linux Handscanner Ioctl Interface, and comes with demo programs
for that. IMHO it should be trivial to add SANE support for LHII, as ideas
from LHII have influenced SANE development ... but noone has yet actually
written something, and I don't have the Logi anymore ..

> Is Logitech not going to give you hardware support for the scanner?

They don't, but I wrote the driver anyway by disassembling the DOS driver ...

CU, ANdy
