Hi.<br>

<i>&gt; Has anyone wanting to support Logitech scanners been in touch with Logitech</i><br>
<i>&gt; recently? I know that the historically Logitech have denied Linux driver</i><br>
<i>&gt; developers the technical information that they needed in order to write</i><br>
<i>&gt; drivers.</i><br>
<p>
I read somewhere on Logitech's Web site <br>
<a href="http://www.logitech.com/us/about/al_010.html">http://www.logitech.com/us/about/al_010.html</a><br>
that their scanner line wasn't doing so well so they sold <br>
it to Storm Tech, which went bankrupt sometime last year. <br>
If Logitech still has the scanner docs, they might give them<br>
out now. Maybe it's just a matter of talking to the right<br>
person...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; However I can across this yesterday while browsing the Linux USB pages,</i><br>
<i>&gt; and have reproduced the section about Logitech below. From this it would</i><br>
<i>&gt; appear that Logitech have had a change of heart with regard to Linux,</i><br>
<i>&gt; and might be worth approaching again for specifications.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Logitech designs, manufactures and markets Human</i><br>
<i>&gt; Interface Devices, having a long history and experience in</i><br>
<i>&gt; making devices such as keyboards, mice, trackballs,</i><br>
<i>&gt; cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for gaming and</i><br>
<i>&gt; professional use.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,</i><br>
<i>&gt; they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as</i><br>
<i>&gt; a way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to</i><br>
<i>&gt; allow Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite</i><br>
<i>&gt; operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and</i><br>
<i>&gt; other USB hardware.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I have four parallel port scanners listed on my web page, and I know they</i><br>
<i>&gt; produced several other non-parallel port hand held scanners in the past.</i><br>
<i>&gt; None of which appear to be supported by Sane. A quick search of my</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane mailing list archive reveals at least 20 people asking about Logitech</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanners, some quite recent.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; The original page can be seen at</i><br>
