<EM>> Let me guess, you don't have too much contact with marketing people
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> :-) I'm pretty sure this is a number they made up for their business
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> plan just to get the project approved. I am not holding my breath and
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> continue to work on the USB side of my backend code.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>I do, but my guess is that these figures are in fact plausible.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>If I come to design a USB scanner, and find that I can buy an off the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
self chip with the addition of a few external components and the mechanics
|
|
<BR>
|
|
will let me have a scanner, what am I going to use? Given the volumes
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that Nat-Semi are likely to be able to achieve, they are also likely to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
be a cheaper option. My understanding is that they are also offering support
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to manufactures on device drivers etc.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Basically the low end flat bed scanner market is now a commodity market.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Someone (Nat-Semi) has decided that they can offer a generic ASIC for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
controlling scanners and interfacing to a USB bus. I am quite sure they
|
|
<BR>
|
|
would not be doing this if they where not confident of capturing a
|
|
<BR>
|
|
sizeable chunk of the market.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Admittedly some big players such as UMAX, Epson, Canon and HP who have the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
resources for doing their own ASIC design will likely continue to do so.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
That said the HP-4200C does in fact use the Nat-Semi chip!
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>JAB.
