|
||
<i>| </i><br>
|
||
<i>| Good news from Minolta! They are interested in facilitating a Linux</i><br>
|
||
<i>| port of their hardware. I met with some representatives from Minolta</i><br>
|
||
<i>| today at Comdex, and they are definitely willing to work with me to</i><br>
|
||
<i>| get the QuickScan 35 going under Linux. Although we didn't talk about</i><br>
|
||
<i>| other scanners or cameras, surely they will soon follow if the</i><br>
|
||
<i>| QuickScan port goes well.</i><br>
|
||
<i>| </i><br>
|
||
<i>| They have some concerns, though. They are reluctant to release the</i><br>
|
||
<i>| SCSI protocol, primarily because of potential liability concerns. As</i><br>
|
||
<i>| I understand it, they are worried that if someone writes a poor driver</i><br>
|
||
<i>| for their hardware, it could easily damage the scanner, or much more</i><br>
|
||
<i>| seriously, might conceivably start a fire and lead to other personal</i><br>
|
||
<i>| or property damage. Minolta is concerned, rightly or wrongly, that</i><br>
|
||
<i>| they might be held liable for such damage caused by their hardware, no</i><br>
|
||
<i>| matter who wrote the driver. And in today's world, who can argue.</i><br>
|
||
<i>| </i><br>
|
||
<i>| But they are intrigued because they know that other, competing</i><br>
|
||
<i>| companies (for instance, Nikon) have released sufficient documentation</i><br>
|
||
<i>| to facilitate writing a SANE driver for their equipment. They would</i><br>
|
||
<i>| like to know the nature of the agreement(s), if any, these companies</i><br>
|
||
<i>| entered into before releasing said information--this might encourage</i><br>
|
||
<i>| them to emulate those companies.</i><br>
|
||
<i>| </i><br>
|
||
<i>| What can anyone tell me about this? People who have worked with</i><br>
|
||
<i>| other scanner and camera companies, what experiences have you had?</i><br>
|
||
<i>| </i><br>
|
||
<i>| Many thanks!</i><br>
