<i> &gt;&gt; Now that's interesting... Though TWAIN isn't SANE, we can make them</i><br>
<i> &gt;&gt; compatible... Thus allowing my Epson GT 300 to work under OS/2!!!</i><br>
<i> &gt;</i><br>
<i> &gt;does all this mean that SANE 1.00 doesn't support twain flatbed scanners</i><br>
<i> &gt;atm ?</i><br>
<p>
No, no, no... as far as supported hardware goes, SANE has absolutely<br>
nothing to do with TWAIN. "It's got a TWAIN driver" means nothing;<br>
any driver for Windows or MacOS is going to be a TWAIN driver.<br>
<p>
Remember.... a TWAIN driver is both frontend and backend rolled into<br>
one. It's essentially a plug-in. Imagine if there were a different<br>
"xscanimage" (which operates as a Gimp plug-in) for each brand of<br>
scanner. That's TWAIN.<br>
<p>
What is being written (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is a TWAIN<br>
driver-frontend-plug-in-thing which speaks the SANE Network Protocol,<br>
and thus will allow a Windows box to remotely access a scanner on a<br>
(Un*x) machine running 'saned'.<br>
