(For anyone looking for Microtek backend <a href="news:">news:</a> sorry to have been absent<br>
for so long. I'm just starting to process a backlog of e-mail.)<br>
<p>
Hey, Theo: me, too.<br>
<p>
After spending copious amounts of time on the Microtek US tech support phone<br>
lines (or 'line'), even after applying for the "Microtek Developer Program",<br>
I have managed to get that same, inapplicable SCSI document *three* times.<br>
It is spooky --- as if their firmware was just deposited on someone's<br>
desk by evil forces late one night. My suspicion is that the only people<br>
that might know about the E6/E3/III are hidden in the head office in Taiwan.<br>
*Someone* has to have the correct document *somewhere*, even as a dog-earred<br>
old photocopy of a photocopy.<br>
<p>
If you or anyone else gets any insights into Microtek documentation, or just<br>
the 10/12 bit modes, *please* pass them my way, and I'll incorporate them into<br>
the backend. I've pretty much exhausted the mtekscan source code.<br>

ps: <a href="http://www.vividata.com/scanshop.html">http://www.vividata.com/scanshop.html</a> seems to be a commercial program<br>
which supports Microtek scanners (among others) on Unices. They seem<br>
to have free trial-periods, too.<br>
Like I said, *someone* has the documentation.<br>
