<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; I will gladly try to help, if you want to take the challenge, but you will</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; need at least basic knowledge of electronics and how to wield a soldering iron</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; if you want to monitor the parallel port in hardware or a solid knowledge</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; of WinDoze drivers to do it on the software-side.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Well, unfortunately, knowledge of electronics isn't passed in the genes. </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I might convince my Dad to help out on that end, but he lives four hours away,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; and we visit for a weekend a month. Besides, I'm still trying to complete his </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; linux upgrade, and I don't think he's up for another bout of craziness yet. </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I might be able to get a parallel-port-monitoring-thingy out of him if he's </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; got the time, though.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Maybe you find someone near you by screaming loud on this list ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; Anybody with data-logging facilities handy on the list ?</i><br>
<p>
Well, I got a big fat YES from my dad. :) Good ol' dad. Of course, we're <br>
still flying<br>
blind, but at least we know how to hook up a few LEDs and watch the pretty <br>
lights<br>
blink as data goes through. And, given my Dad's general proficiency with the <br>
arcane<br>
parts of computers, I think that with a voice of experience to help us along, <br>
we might<br>
accomplish something.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; I'll certainly write to Logitech and see if I can get the specs on the scanner, </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; but I won't know what to do with the information if/when I get it without a </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; good deal of guidance.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Should you get it, I will gladly try to be your guide, though I doubt they will</i><br>
<i>&gt; give you anything ...</i><br>
<p>
You're quite right. Here's what I got back: <br>

-- Hello Patricia,<br>
<pre>
--
-- Unfortunately, we will not be able to help you.
<pre>
--
-- We do not give out source code for the PageScan Color.
<pre>
--
-- Thanks for your interest in Logitech and its products.
<pre>
--
-- Regards,
<pre>

-- Ora
-- Logitech Customer Support
<p>
So, even though I wasn't asking for the source code, they're not going to
give it to me. Go figure. ;) No mention of technical specs, of course.
<p>
So, where do I go from here, O Great Guru of Driver-Writing? Feel free
to reply verbosely in email, so as not to spam the whole list with stuff they
already know. :)
<p>
Thanks!

Ful skete has skyfted synne.
