I can make an example and post it here. But We need to specify what kind<br>
|
||
of information should be included.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Perhaps a table of tested scanners like:<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Mustek 600SP<br>
|
||
6000 (Only SCSI version)<br>
|
||
HP 5p (not tested with supplied card)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
And a table of hardware manufacturers like:<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Mustek Supplied full set of manuals without restrictions<br>
|
||
HP Gave little information<br>
|
||
XXX Refused to supply programming details<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Or was somethings else intended?<br>
|
