Are you sure they have given out this info?<br>
Is this true are the manufacturers just getting tired <br>
of giving out the same info without results?<br>
If this is true we should be pooling our <br>
resources, i.e. some people who are good at<br>
sweet talking manufactures and those of us who <br>
would rather just hack?<br>
I am currently trying to get some specs for a rather<br>
obscure scanner and having a heck of a time getting it.<br>
One of the reasons I have not been pursuing this to<br>
strongly is that I have looked at the Linux2.1.x drivers<br>
and see a lot of neat stuff to make the writing of <br>
specific kernel drivers unnecessary (provided the<br>
manufacturer follows one of the IEEE specs).<br>
In any case I am hoping to write a user space meta<br>
driver for the scanner I have.<br>
<p>
Opinions?<br>
