Sigh. I've been in communications with Minolta about getting specs<br>
|
|
for their scanners for nearly a year now. About three or four<br>
|
|
months ago, they told me they were finally preparing a NDA for<br>
|
|
developers to sign, which would be available momentarily.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
No news since. Until Minolta releases those specs, a SANE backend<br>
|
|
will not be possible.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If Linux support is a priority, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for<br>
|
|
a scanner. This one might eventually be supported under Linux, but<br>
|
|
probably not anytime soon.<br>
|

David, is there any update on this? If you're not chasing them anymore<br>
|
|
could you give us contact details so someone can pick up where you left<br>
|
|
off instead of starting from scratch with their local Minolta.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alternatives are to use WINE to snoop on the SCSI activity of Minolta's<br>
|
|
Windows driver.<br>

No, thanks for that. A UK `Digital Photo FX' magazine ranked the<br>
|
|
Minolta Scan Dual Dimage top of the range for its price. That's why<br>
|
|
I'm interested in getting one.<br>
