To get Sane software for Macs would be great. But porting all the<br>
|
||
backends<br>
|
||
to MacOS versions 8.x (or older) might be quite a big task. Especially,<br>
|
||
some<br>
|
||
backends fork an additional process which reads the data from the<br>
|
||
scanner and<br>
|
||
delivers this data to the parent process. I don't know much about the<br>
|
||
internals<br>
|
||
of MacOS, but I guess that this kind of multitasking would be quite<br>
|
||
difficult<br>
|
||
to implement. Since MaxOS X is now available at least as the server<br>
|
||
version, <br>
|
||
and the workstation version will probably also be released in near<br>
|
||
future, I<br>
|
||
think that it would be not worth to put too much effort into porting the <br>
|
||
backends to MaxOS 8.x.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
On the other hand, having a frontend for the older MacOS versions, would<br>
|
||
be <br>
|
||
really useful (well, yes, only if the Mac is connected to a LAN where a<br>
|
||
Sane<br>
|
||
server is running, but that would probably be useful in many situations)<br>
