How similar are the Acer (Prisa) 310S and Vuego 310S? Apparently very. <br>
|
||
Browsing the source for the Snapscan and comparing it to a probe of my SCSI <br>
|
||
bus (I have the Acer 310S) I can see no difference. Vendor, model and <br>
|
||
firmware revision are identical. I'm no programmer but I might try hacking <br>
|
||
at it this weekend. Any words of encouragement (or help) greatly <br>
|
||
appreciated.<br>

I, too, am looking for info on the Acer scanners. The above is the same <br>
|
||
info<br>
|
||
that you can find in several statements in the sane-devel archives. Hasn't<br>
|
||
anyone investigated this further?<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I purchased the AcerScan Prisa 620ST about a week ago. The scanner itself<br>
|
||
looks nice, but it seems to prefer the accompanying SCSI card. And although<br>
|
||
you can select a SCSI ID of 0-9 (sic!), you can't make the scanner <br>
|
||
terminate<br>
|
||
the SCSI bus correctly without extra hardware (in my case, a ZIP drive ;-)<br>
|
||
Oh, and the manual is awful, with the weirdest English I've seen. On the<br>
|
||
other hand, on www.acerperipherals.com it seems they know what they're <br>
|
||
doing.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Anyway, I'll install the scanner+card+Windoze on my brother's computer<br>
|
||
(where it is of most use anyway), then I'll mail a polite request to Acer <br>
|
||
to<br>
|
||
persuade them to release programming info. SANE support in the future would <br>
|
||
be<br>
|
||
great!<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(End of mini-review and rambling.)<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Further questions:<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
1. Is Vuego really the same company as Acer? I.e., would a Vuego 42FOO <br>
|
||
scanner<br>
|
||
be exactly the same as an Acer 42FOO?<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
2. If Acer 310S is modified from Agfa Snapscan 310S, would that make an <br>
|
||
Acer<br>
|
||
620ST a modified Agfa Snapscan <something>?<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
3. Assuming there is some support for the Acer 310S, using the SnapScan<br>
|
||
driver, can anyone estimate the chances of a later model like the 620ST<br>
|
||
working, too? Do they really mess that much with the protocols between<br>
|
||
models?<br>
|
||
