Me again I'm afraid<br>
<p>
Thanks to Michael K. Johnson, who wrote:<br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; That I can't answer, but if you can tell us exactly which mustek</i><br>
<i>&gt; driver supports NeXTStep, including a pointer to the source code,</i><br>
<i>&gt; we'll have a higher probability of being able to help. Internet</i><br>
<i>&gt; access to your machine for one developer probably would also help.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
My scanner is an OEM version Mustek 600 II CD single-pass. After <br>
some difficulty it can now be persuaded to work with either Win'95 or <br>
NT using an Adaptec 2940UW or a Symbios/NCR 810 card. NeXTStep <br>
support would be far preferable.<br>
<p>
The OEM feature means that its SCSI-ID string is "SCANNER" rather <br>
than "MUSTEK".<br>
<p>
I could arrange for internet access to a permanently-connected <br>
machine running OS 4.0 for anyone who would be prepared to help out.<br>
<p>
Frank M. Siegert &lt;<a href="mailto:frank@this.net">frank@this.net</a>&gt; has ported Arno Augustin's pnmscan <br>
linux driver for the mustek 600CZ/CX and 1200CX 3-pass scanners to <br>
NeXTStep. He has created an attractive graphical application around <br>
it, both this and his modified pnmscan.c are available from<br>
<a href="http://www.this.net/~frank/download/html">http://www.this.net/~frank/download/html</a><br>
as MScanB3.NIHS.b.tar.gz and pnmscan.c respectively.<br>
<p>
The original pnmscan linux source is available from:<br>
<a href="http://www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~aoaugust/mustek/mustek.html">http://www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~aoaugust/mustek/mustek.html</a><br>
<p>
Frank Siegert was kind enough to say in comp.sys.next.hardware <br>
article &lt;<a href="mailto:5m460g$bnk$1@orista.ipc.uni-tuebingen.de">5m460g$bnk$1@orista.ipc.uni-tuebingen.de</a>&gt;<br>
<p>
"A freeware user level driver including source for the Mustek CX6000 <br>
(3-pass)scanner series is available on my homepage. (Beware: This <br>
scanner has a real bad SCSI interface and dislikes any synchronous <br>
transfers on the bus, it seems to works at a m68k NeXT)<br>
<p>
Usually it is easy to port a, say Linux or BSD driver, over to<br>
NeXTSTEP/OpenStep. I have the needed SCSI sources here, just give me <br>
a call."<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Generic SCSI support is far from standardized, and so it has to be</i><br>
<i>&gt; written anew for just about every platform. This takes some</i><br>
<i>&gt; programming knowledge.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
I gather that Frank's pnmscan.c does exactly this, but I'm afraid <br>
it's far above my head.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I'd say that supporting NeXTStep would be nice, not only for</i><br>
<i>&gt; NeXTStep, but also because it will likely work then on Apple's</i><br>
<i>&gt; Rhapsody when it is released.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
Indeed - I'm sure the SANE interface and its associated front and <br>
back ends could be extremely useful to many future Rhapsody users.<br>
<p>
Many Thanks,<br>
Neville<br>
