Pardon my mistake. When I was told Scanmaker III's images were sampled from<br>
|
|
36-bit but really only 30-bit I mistook that it was done at the hardware<br>
|
|
level.<br>
|
|
Microtek confirmed your point that it's the bundled software that can't<br>
|
|
manipulate <br>
|
|
36-bit images. <br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
BTW, there is a developers kit and SCSI command-set document available for<br>
|
|
download at:<br>

Sorry, but it doesn't contain the older document you're looking for.<br>
