Just to let everybody on the list know.. I've gotten Jan S.'s mtekscan<br>
command line program working and will soon start working on a SANE backend.<br>
I've already started and am half done with a port of the scsi stuff to my<br>
machine. One problem, though. It appears that the Linux stuff is pretty<br>
low-level. My stuff is actually pretty similar, but with one major<br>
difference. There is a structure that is used for SCSI communications, but<br>
it requires setting either a READ or WRITE flag. I'm debating whether I<br>
will be able to just simply say that all 0x1b commands (or whatever) are<br>
WRITEs and whatnot, which would mean that there is no change in having to<br>
call the sanei_scsi_cmd(), or require an addition argument, namely a flag,<br>
which would require a change to the API.<br>
I would prefer the API change, and then just have the Linux SCSI module<br>
ignore the flag, but this presents a problem to the Linux programmers, in<br>
that they wouldn't know whether to use a READ or a WRITE - I'm not even<br>
sure in some cases, I just kinda guessed. :-(<br>
Any comments?<br>
