<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Fri, 29 Aug 1997 15:52:10 +0200 (METDST), Per Harald Myrvang &lt;<a href="mailto:Per.Harald.Myrvang@cc.uit.no">Per.Harald.Myrvang@cc.uit.no</a>&gt; said:</i><br>

Per&gt; Hello! I've got my hands onto a Nikon LS-1000 dias-scanner<br>
Per&gt; (with the slide feeder SF-100), and [probably] being stupid,<br>
Per&gt; I'm going to try to write a backend for it. I've got it hooked<br>
Per&gt; up to a HP Apollo 735 running HPUX 9.05 (which also has a<br>
Per&gt; ScanJet IIc attached, which works xscanimage), which I'm going<br>
Per&gt; to use as a development platform.<br>
<p>
Huh, you're saying the HP-UX scsi support works? That's news to<br>
me---I wrote that code without being able to test it. If it really<br>
works, please confirm in a private mail so I can update the SANE home<br>
page. Are you using sane-0.62?<br>
<p>
Per&gt; Since I really don't have a clue, I'm probably going to need<br>
Per&gt; some help. I've found a Linux driver for Nikon LS-20 at<br>
Per&gt; &lt;<a href="ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/linux/sunsite/apps/graphics/capture/coolscan-0.2.tgz">ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/linux/sunsite/apps/graphics/capture/coolscan-0.2.tgz</a>&gt;,<br>
Per&gt; but this one specifies that it won't work on the LS-1000 (how<br>
Per&gt; typical!). I've contacted the Norwegian Nikon representative,<br>
Per&gt; in order to get technical manuals, but they've been slow to<br>
Per&gt; respond.<br>
<p>
Is the LS-* series completely different from the Coolscan line of<br>
products? Didier Carlier &lt;<a href="mailto:carlierd@acm.org">carlierd@acm.org</a>&gt; expressed interest in a<br>
driver for the latter. If the two are related at all, maybe a unified<br>
backend could be written?<br>
<p>
Per&gt; I need to know if there are any "standard" commands for<br>
Per&gt; scanning, or if this differs for each scanner.<br>
<p>
SCSI-2 defines the basic scanner commands, but there are lots of<br>
"vendor-specific" bits. The UMAX scanners appear to be (mostly?) in<br>
conformance with the SCSI-2 specs, so it may provide a good starting<br>
point. If you want to start simple, I'd say that the HP backend is<br>
about as simple as a (real) scanner backend gets. However, HP uses<br>
its own Scanner Control Language (SCL) which is nothing like the<br>
SCSI-2 scanner protocol.<br>
<p>
Per&gt; I need to know<br>
Per&gt; if there are anything I can do that would damage the<br>
Per&gt; scanner. In fact, any and all input from you guys out there<br>
Per&gt; would be appreciated!<br>
<p>
It really depends. Mustek scanners can be "crashed" quite easily by<br>
specifying too long a scan area. But I'd think that negative scanners<br>
do not suffer from this problem. Also, given the price of negative<br>
scanners, I'd hope they're more robust than lowest-cost flatbed<br>
scanners.<br>
