A while back I was looking for Linux/Unix support for my Epson
PhotoPC500
digital camera. I had no specs on the protocol it uses and wasn't making
much progress in getting the information from Epson.

Just about the time I was thinking of giving up, Eugene Crosser
announced
that he had reverse engineered the protocol and written a nice library
and
command line interface to control the camera.

I looked briefly at the Sane spec and it doesn't look like it should
be too hard to write a back end based on Eugene's library. So, unless
someone else announces that they're already doing it, I'm planning to
develop a Sane back end for the Epson PhotoPC 500 (it should work with
the older PhotoPC as well). I'll keep people on the mailing list
informed of my progress.

Jeff
