<EM>&gt; I really don't know how to find information about the chips on the windows
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; drivers. I've tried dissassembling the vxd file and some dll on the twain32
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; dir, but couldn't find info on that.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; And I can't tell if the cable has a chip or not. It sure looks like a plain
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; parallel cable to me. I have a laplink cable that I've tried to use and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; didn't work, but it really doesn't mean much: perhaps there's no chip in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the cable and it's simply a null parallel cable, or whatever it is called.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I'd sure like to find out the differences between my ASIC chip (0xA2) and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the ones supported by the musteka4s2 backend: the 0xA5 and 0xA8. Do you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; have any links on this kind of chips?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<P>&nbsp;I have a ScanExpress 12000P. I'm pretty sure there isn't a chip in the
<BR>
cable. The low-level communication protocol is the same as for the
<BR>
&nbsp;600 III EP Plus but it seems to use different registers. It uses
<BR>
different methods to control the motor and lamp. I have disassembled the
<BR>
&nbsp;VxD and wrote some simple code to switch the lamp on/off, detect
<BR>
whether
<BR>
the cover is up/down, move the scanning head back to its home position
<BR>
&nbsp;and check if the scanning head is in its home position.
<BR>
&nbsp;I tried to contact Mustek in Taiwan but I have never received a reply.
<BR>
I had a look a Jeff's backend and therre's a lot of work there. I
<BR>
imagine
<BR>
&nbsp;the 1505 ASIC used in the SE12000P works in a similar way so I'll study
<BR>
the
<BR>
musteka4s2 backend to see if I can translate stepper motor control, etc
<BR>
to
<BR>
&nbsp;the SE12000P.
<BR>
&nbsp;Jeff, is it possible to get contact details for the Software Manager at
<BR>
&nbsp;Mustek you mention on your page? If we can get information on the
<BR>
SE12000P
<BR>
from Mustek it should be a relatively simple matter to extend the
<BR>
musteka4s2
<BR>
&nbsp;backend.
