<i>&gt; &gt;Is there any support for a UMAX Astra 610P scanner that uses </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;the parallel port ?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; No, and I don't think there will be one soon!</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Sorry</i><br>

Bug Umax, they are not adverse to giving the information out, but the<br>
only documention also has details of some custom ASIC that UMAX have<br>
designed for controlling parallel port scanners, and they think it<br>
is the buisness and needs to be kept under wraps, hence the won't release<br>
the information. Bug them enough and they might get round to producing<br>
a copy with the ASIC info striped out.<br>
<p>
Other than that don't buy a Umax parallel port scanner as they are crap,<br>
with only support for SPP and EPP modes, that's right no PS2 and no ECP.<br>
Given that ECP is the best mode for a scanner, and they can't manage PS2.<br>
Also they have a next generation 620 model in the pipeline.<br>
<p>
Frankly if I had designed the 600P/610P parallel port interface I would<br>
not admit to the fact the design is so dire.<br>
