Howdy all,<br>
<p>
I've been fighting for a while to figure out how to get my messages on the <br>
list...  majordomo seems to have been eating them or something, but i hope this <br>
will get through.  I have major reasonable headway with this backend.  The <br>
scanner side of things is about half done.  Scanning with at a fixed size and <br>
resolution works, I just have to start using the sane parameters and that'll <br>
work.  I'm in the middle of a move right now so it'll be a little bit before I <br>
have time again.<br>

<p>
Howdy All,<br>
<p>
   I have a Relisys Avec 2400, and have been kinda disappointed that there <br>
 hasn't been any SANE support for the Relisys line.  I did what I could with the <br>
 contacting the manufacturer line;  I sent a couple emails that were pretty much <br>
 ignored.  As such I guess the only avenue is to reverse engineer the protocol.<br>
<p>
   To this end I have acquired a dll for Win9x that logs all scsi commands sent <br>
 through the windows aspi layer.  To get this for your own projects refer to <br>
 <a href="http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html">http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html</a>.  I have let the author, Ed Hamrick, know of my <br>
 intentions to use his driver for this project, and he is pleased to be able to <br>
 contribute back to the SANE project, from which he has learned much on various <br>
 scanners.  <br>
<p>
   I guess the main reasons that I'm send this missive is to make sure you all <br>
 know about this wonderful tool that would seem to be very useful in leveraging <br>
 out info about the closed hardware we have to deal with, and to wonder if <br>
anyone <br>
 has any info on what the legal implications of acquiring the information this <br>
 way are.<br>
<p>
   I would also be interested in talking to any other Relisys owners that wish <br>
to <br>
 pass along traces of the protocol used in different models in the Relisys line. <br>
  My initial goal is obviously getting the support finished for the Avec 2400, <br>
 but I'm sure there are various other models I could support without too much <br>
 extra work.<br>
<p>
 Thanks for your time,<br>
