Wonderful!<br>
<p>
That's excellent, wild-west-type stuff.<br>
<p>
I'm still willing to make a phone call or two, or send multiple<br>
polite-but-relentless e-mails to someone at Nikon. Suggestions about whom,<br>
anyone?<br>
<p>
I will continue to post on the Nikon Image Processing Support Forum.<br>
<p>
Didier Carlier:<br>
Are you free to make the documentation for the LS-20 available?<br>
<p>
It might be useful to Andreas Rick, if only as an outdated road map.<br>
<p>

<i>&gt; I repost my last message as it appearently didn't make it into</i><br>
<i>&gt; the new-group:</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;I don't know how much time you have but it sounds like a fun project</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;to me, especially with the extra infrared channel and stuff.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; I bought a Nikon Coolscan LS30 two weeks-ago.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Since then I've been working on making it run under SANE.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I somewhat succeded to start the NikonScan - software provided with</i><br>
<i>&gt; the scanner under Wine and the TWAIN interface comes up.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I can do Prescans, but Preview or Scan fails.</i><br>
<i>&gt; It looks like it breaks when it is trying to do the autofocus...</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Next, I dummed all the commands that pass through the</i><br>
<i>&gt; Wine aspi interface (-debug-msg +aspi) and since</i><br>
<i>&gt; then I am trying to figure out which command corresponds</i><br>
<i>&gt; to what in the Sane-backend for the Coolscan LS20 written</i><br>
<i>&gt; by Didier Carlier.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Even without beeing able to get it work completely:</i><br>
<i>&gt; Hats off the Wine-team for the good debug-features</i><br>
<i>&gt; integrated into Wine. When Wine will be more stable</i><br>
<i>&gt; on these (difficult) hardware issues it will be the ideal</i><br>
<i>&gt; tool for Scanner protokol analysis.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; It is a fun project, but it is also not very easy, as quite</i><br>
<i>&gt; some protokol changes have been made and without the docs</i><br>
<i>&gt; its like playing detective.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Right now my modified Coolscan backend can do about as much</i><br>
<i>&gt; as the Twain interface under Wine: Detect the Scanner,</i><br>
<i>&gt; get some parameter information from it and do a prescan.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; If anyone has had any more success about getting the LS30</i><br>
<i>&gt; to work under Wine I would like to hear about it, so</i><br>
<i>&gt; that I can analyse what is going on on the ASPI interface</i><br>
<i>&gt; during scan.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Has anyone experience about listening to a SCSI-bus under</i><br>
<i>&gt; Windows? Is there a tool to dump all SCSI transfers?</i><br>
<i>&gt; This might help to figure out what is going on.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
