<EM>&gt; Ok, I've just opened the mustek SE12000P and this is what's inside:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * the ccd board is called 'A4SII CCD BOARD'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * the other board (the one where the ports are connected to, and the motor,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and the ccd board) is called 'EMI-A4SII-600-EPP-12B-WM Main Board Rev. G'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; It has a big chip called 'Mustek MA 1505'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Ok, does this mean anything to anyone? Specially, does this mean anything
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to does that developed the Mustek driver and the musteka4s2 driver?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I've patched a bit the musteka4s2 driver: the ASIC_ID of the SE12000P is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 0xA2. I've tried to pretend it is ASIC_ID_1013 and 1015, but nothing much
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; happened: the light went on and didn't go off but did nothing else.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Help, anyone? What can be the difference between this and those scanners
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; supported by the musteka4s2? I really whish it could be possible to merge
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the mustek (which works with the se12000sc) and the musteka4s2 (which works
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; with parallel port sacnners) drivers...
</EM><BR>

<P>I hope you know that there are two things that need to be supported; the
<BR>
scanner itself, with the SANE backend, and the connection with the scanner.
<BR>
If it is to a SCSI card then the scsi chipset needs to be supported. If
<BR>
it is a parport scanner then that needs support.
<BR>
<P>In my case I own a microtek Pagewiz which is now supported by a modified
<BR>
backend. It's connected to the parport and uses an OnSpec 90c26 chip. I opened
<BR>
my scanner but didn't find that chipset, so I guess this chip is built in the
<BR>
interface cable. With the ppscsi patch I got this chip supported. Microtek says
<BR>
about my scanner that the interface cable, or parallel port host adapter needs
<BR>
to be supported, if not then the scanner cannot be used. I guess this counts
<BR>
for all scanners.
<BR>
<P>I do not know anything about your scanner. If it is a type which is also being
<BR>
sold with a scsi interface, then it might use a scsi protocol. So then it
<BR>
should work with the SANE backend (I assume).
<BR>
<P>If you own a parport scanner and it is connected in the way mine is connected,
<BR>
the really the best way to find out which chip your adapter uses is to look at
<BR>
the Windows drivers. If you have Windows installed, then the driver will say
<BR>
somethging about the chip being used. You should check it with the
<BR>
documentation at www.torque.net/parport/ppscsi.html if it is supported.
<BR>
<P>If the Windows driver doesn't say anything about a chip, or you don't have
<BR>
windows installed, the read the documentation you got with the scanner, try the
<BR>
website of the manufacturer, or email their tech-support.
<BR>
<P>I hope this is clear and usable,
<BR>
