|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>There's no insidious reason. The person who was going to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
do it got the same documents I got under NDA from Minolta.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I think the sane driver just didn't get done.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>If someone wants to go to the trouble to get the scsi command
|
|
<BR>
|
|
specs under NDA from Minolta, I'd be happy to send them the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
info I found about a few small inaccuracies in these documents.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>These documents are available from Minolta under NDA for
|
|
<BR>
|
|
their SCSI Dimage scanners. The USB Scan Dual II uses
|
|
<BR>
|
|
entirely different commands.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>A sane driver for the Minolta Scan Dual II can probably be
|
|
<BR>
|
|
done pretty easily by modifying the Avision driver (it's
|
|
<BR>
|
|
built by Avision and uses the standard Avision commands).
|
|
<BR>
|
|
I already posted a message showing how scsi commands
|
|
<BR>
|
|
are encapsulated on USB.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>The only thing that's needed to get the Scan Dual II working
|
|
<BR>
|
|
on Linux is a modification to the microtek.c pseudo-scsi
|
|
<BR>
|
|
driver that emulates a scsi device and sends the scsi
|
|
<BR>
|
|
commands over USB.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Interestingly, this would also get the HP 5300C working
|
|
<BR>
|
|
under Linux, since it's also an Avision scanner and uses the
|
|
<BR>
|
|
same SCSI->USB encapsulation as the Scan Dual II.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P><EM>> Hamrick Software sells a very good bit of shareware called VueScan that
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> works wonderfully with Minolta's slide scanners. It works on Linux,
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> Macintosh and Windows, and it's so good that on Windows I use it instead
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> of Minolta's default TWAIN drivers.

|
|
<P><EM>> The only thing I could wish for now is better Gimp integration. :)
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P>You can get VueScan to start Gimp on Linux when it's done
|
|
<BR>
|
|
processing an image. You can use an arbitrary shell command
|
|
<BR>
|
|
to post-process the images.
