Hi,<br>
<p>
I received the following today from PIE. It seems that after all my<br>
questions and emails they have decided that they don't want to release<br>
the technical documentation for their Scanace II series of scanners to<br>
me either with or without an NDA.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; It had been very difficult to get the managment to accept your request last</i><br>
<i>&gt; time.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Following your last mail that I transmitted to the persons concermed, the</i><br>
<i>&gt; decision to release informations to the public has be reconsidered. The</i><br>
<i>&gt; outcome is that there are more risk to to that than any gains we could get.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; So the position now is not to release the informations you request.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Sorry. I will let you know if there is a change in the policy.</i><br>
<p>
Could the KOTL please update the site to indicate that PIE will not be<br>
supported. I do not want other people to go out and buy PIE products<br>
only to find that they have no SANE support.<br>
<p>
If PIE reconsider and do release the information, I will keep you<br>
informed, however it looks extremely unlikely at the moment.<br>
<p>
It seems such a pity to have been corresponding with them for over four<br>
months to be turned down at the final hurdle.<br>
<p>
Regards,<br>
<p>
<p>
Dave Restall<br>
