Hallo,<br>
<p>
I am looking for people using a Primax Colorado scanner, and whish to use it<br>
with Linux. I've asked Primax (www: <a href="http://www.primax.nl">http://www.primax.nl</a> eMail:<br>
<a href="mailto:support@primax.nl">support@primax.nl</a>) several times for information about the protocol used by the<br>
scanner. They always told me that they can't give away some specs, so writing a<br>
driver for Linux is a quite hard thing. They are also not willing to write an<br>
own driver for Linux/UNIX and as the main reson they put forward there were not<br>
enough requests for doing this. So I just wanted to find some people who are<br>
wishing to support me and if there are enough (perhaps more than 5 or so...) I<br>
am going to start another mailing together with them towards Primax...<br>
Guys who are able to find out something about the protocol by reverse<br>
engeneering the Primax drivers or by grabbing and decoding things on the<br>
parallel line between computer and scanner or whatever they can contribute are<br>
very welcome, of course.<br>
<p>
When there are enough people or information I am going to start a WWW-site on<br>
this topic...<br>
<p>
Thank you for answering here, or directly to my eMail address.<br>
If you're answering directly to my eMail address, please put the word Primax<br>
somewhere in the Subject, because I use it for sorting my mail and to make my<br>
life little easier.<br>
<p>
