<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Feico&gt; This weekend I wrote an preliminary SANE backend for my Ricoh</i><br>
<i>&gt; Feico&gt; scanner. It still needs some cleaning up and experimental</i><br>
<i>&gt; Feico&gt; testing (I couldn't get the tech-docs without the NDA thing),</i><br>
<i>&gt; Feico&gt; but it's basically operational. It runs at least on my</i><br>
<i>&gt; Feico&gt; NetBSD-i386-1.3.1 machine with sane-0.72.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;Sounds great! Given that you signed an NDA, will you be able to</i><br>
<i>&gt;provide the source code for the backend or would this be limited to</i><br>
<i>&gt;binaries only?</i><br>
<p>
Ah, sorry. I wasn't very clear on that. I meant, I don't have any ricoh<br>
tech-docs (because I had to sign an NDA that would prohibit free source<br>
distribution). That's why I need to do some more `experimental testing' of the<br>
scanner to see whether it supports more options and features than the most<br>
obvious. I was lucky that the scanner complies with the SCSI-2 standard<br>
relatvively well, so I had a basis for trying things out.<br>
<p>
I'll probably work on it some more this weekend, and then make it available to<br>
you.<br>

BTW: (x)scanimage (on NetBSD-Intel) seemed to have a problem when multiple<br>
backends are pre-loaded. First I couldn't get it to work properly with <br>
shared libs, which I think is a NetBSD/sane-configuring problem (I'll look<br>
into that later), then after building a non-shared version scanimage core<br>
dumps when it scans for devices. Is this a known problem? The backends that<br>
I pre-loaded were: mustek hp pnm net. xscanimage with just pnm worked ok,<br>
and now it works ok with pnm and my ricoh backend. If this not a known<br>
problem, I'll see if I can find out what it is. If it is known, I'd like<br>
to know where the problem is: in one or more of the backends or ???...<br>
