<i>&gt; ATTENTION SANE:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Recently, I was able to get my Starlight III scsi scanner to work with </i><br>
<i>&gt; Redhat Linux 6.0, by utilizing SANE. Please update your web site with</i><br>
this <br>
<i>&gt; information, as there may be others inquisitive concerning whether this </i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner has any Linux compatibility. If at all possible, please note</i><br>
that <br>
<i>&gt; the reason the Starlight III is compatible with SANE and thus Linux, is </i><br>
<i>&gt; because it mirrors closely the protocols used by the Microtek 2 series </i><br>
<i>&gt; scanners, which are already officially supported (Xscan actually</i><br>
recognizes <br>
<i>&gt; my scanner as a Microtek 2). Being a new convert to the Linux/open</i><br>
source <br>
<i>&gt; community, it is pleasing to know that a great deal of my windows</i><br>
supported <br>
<i>&gt; hardware will work with Linux because of projects like SANE. Thank you</i><br>
for <br>
<i>&gt; your time and contributions.</i><br>
<p>
Thanks for the info. So the StarLight III is obviously a rebadged<br>
Microtek. If possible, can you please provide some more <br>
information: <br>
<br>
- Under which brand/vendor name is this model sold ? This<br>
information would be neccessary to update the web page.<br>
A quick search with altavista reveiled that a model with <br>
this name is sold by a company named Adara. Is it this one ?<br>
<br>
- Is it possible to send the scanner attributes, so that it can<br>
be determined, which Microtek model it corresponds to. The<br>
attributes are printed to stderr, if 'option dump 1' is<br>
set in the microtek2.conf file (which is the current default).<br>
<br>
