I am willing to sign. I have a registered company name, too. Does anyone<br>
have a contact person or e-mail address?<br>
<p>
I have been posting on Nikon's Imaging Support Forum. So far, they have said<br>
they "don't provide information about developing on other operating<br>
systems." I replied that I didin't need Linux information, I needed Coolscan<br>
III information: what gets sent to the scanner over the SCSI bus and what to<br>
expect the scanner to send back, the scanner's command set. No answer to<br>
that, so far.<br>

several<br>

to<br>

Of<br>

a<br>

<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; As to how much the LS-20/1000 differ from the LS-30/2000 interface, I have</i><br>
<i>&gt; really no idea, sorry.</i><br>
