Hi,
I just posted the following to comp.os.linux.hardware, before it occurred to
me that I'd get better info on Sane development from you.

Hello,
I'm hoping that someone here can give me some help with my scanner.

I saw the GT6000 mentioned in the hardware howto, and bought myself a
nice cheap second hand scsi Epson GT6500 scanner which is software
compatible with the GT6000, GT8000, GT4000 and GT1000.
The supporting software mentioned in the hardware howto is:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/capture/ppic05.tar.gz
but I'm having to go through it trying to sort out parse errors etc.
I guess gcc and some of the system include files have changed quite a bit
between 1995 and whenever the 2.0.34 kernel came out.
I'm confident that I will be able to get it to compile and work ok, but
it'd be nice if someone had already done the work for me.

I also tried Sane which I didn't expect to work with this scanner, and it
didn't (I got a segmentation fault from "scanimage -d epson:/dev/sgc ...")
but I'd be interested if someone was working on a version that would.
