<i>&gt; a Linux device driver which can read/write registers on the scanner ASIC</i><br>
<i>&gt; and a few simple test programs. The scanner has to be controlled at a very</i><br>
<i>&gt; low level. I am still trying to work out how to control the stepper motor.</i><br>

<i>&gt; up/down and move the scanner head home. I have been looking at the Plustek</i><br>
<i>&gt; parallel port driver and my driver will need to do a lot of the same things.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I am 99% certain that I have correctly reverse engineered the low-level</i><br>
<i>&gt; protocol but I still need to work out what the internal scanner registers</i><br>
<i>&gt; mean. At the moment I don't use the parport driver and I need to clean up</i><br>
<i>&gt; some of the code.</i><br>
<p>
Oh my god ! Do the Mustek parallel port scanners have a own<br>
microcontroller at all ? Or are they the "yet cheaper, yet lousier"<br>
versions of the 600 II N, with only the ASIC and the ADC inside ?<br>
(the 600 II N still has a 8031 type MCU)<br>
<p>
When do the $1.99 scanners come, whose stepper motors and CCD sensors<br>
are directly connected to the PCI bus ? (Why bother with internal<br>
intelligence, since everyWin has a Pentium-II with 450 MHz or better<br>
and else the CPU is useless anyway with these Microsoft-Games.<br>
<p>
Good Luck !<br>
<p>
Andreas.<br>
