Dear All,
<BR>
<P>Since my last post about back-end support for the &quot;Relisys Scorpio
<BR>
Super 3 SCSI II&quot; scanner I have had various email contacts and
<BR>
gathered together a few resources.
<BR>
<P>Tyler Bindon &lt;<A HREF="mailto:martica@martica.org?Subject=Re:%20Back-end%20support%20for%20Relisys%20scanner?&In-Reply-To=&lt;200010011210.FAA02663@panda.mostang.com&gt;">martica@martica.org</A>&gt; had been working on a back-end
<BR>
early last year and had starting getting it to work, but he lost all
<BR>
his code (and more importantly, his motivation) when a disk crashed on
<BR>
him!
<BR>
<P>He had not got a specification, but had been reverse engineering the
<BR>
ASPI calls of the Win95 TWAIN driver using a ASPI logging tool from Ed
<BR>
Hamrick of www.hamrick.com.
<BR>
<P>I have installed Win 95 on a partition of my machine (Ugh!), have got
<BR>
a copy of the logging tool from Ed Hamrick, and can now generate
<BR>
(extensive) logs of the ASPI activity.
<BR>
<P><P>Now...
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Who (anyone? - please!) wants to join me into trying to get this
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;little beasty running?
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Can anyone (who is sensible enough to remain at a safe distance ;-})
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;give me pointers to help me not &quot;reinvent the wheel&quot;?
<BR>
<P><P>I think that it only fair to point out what I am and what I am not:
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;I am an experienced programmer who has been at it for the last
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;20-odd (!) years.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;I have never done a collaborative, open source project before.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;I am a lousy project manager (and don't want to be a good one)!
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a life, a wife, two growing children and a job. Any one of
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;them will start complaining in I spend *too* much time behind this
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;box.
<BR>
<P><P>What are my/our (?) chances?
<BR>
<P>Mark
<BR>
<P><PRE>
