Dear All,
<BR>
<P>I exchanged these emails with TECO (the manufacturer of Relisys
<BR>
scanners). You might be interested.
<BR>
<P>The most important bit is:
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; &gt; But for the Linux driver, we still under developing, if we finish this work
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; we will put on the web for download.
</EM><BR>
<P>I worry about the &quot;if&quot;, but read further...
<BR>
<P>My apologies for the wordiness, I was trying to be diplomatic.
<BR>
<P>Greetings

&gt;
&gt; Dear Kiwi Ho,
&gt;
&gt; Thank you for your email! I was very considerate of you to send me a
&gt; personal reply.
&gt;
&gt; I am quite sure that I reflect the opinions of the Linux community as
&gt; a whole, when say how *very* pleased we are to hear that TECO is
&gt; developing a driver for Linux.
&gt;
&gt; In the intervening two months I had joined with a group of interested
&gt; programmers and started a project to get TECO scanners working under
&gt; Linux. Because we had no technical information, our work has
&gt; initially been chiefly of an investigative nature, but our target is
&gt; full support for TECO products under the SANE
&gt; (<A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/">http://www.mostang.com/sane/</A>).
&gt;
&gt; Reading your email, I see that you say *if* TECO finishes the Linux
&gt; driver. As a member of the team I can say that we would be terribly
&gt; disappointed if your project failed to come to completion, and was
&gt; wondering whether we can be of any assistance?
&gt;
&gt; I can quite easily imagine that developing for Linux is a slightly
&gt; unusual experience for a commercial organization like TECO and was
&gt; wondering if your company was interested in developing links (formal
&gt; or informal) between your developers and developers in the Linux
&gt; community?
&gt;
&gt; I do not know if I, personally, can be of any particular help, but I
&gt; would hate to let an opportunity for productive cooperation escape
&gt; without investigating the possibilities.
&gt;
&gt; If I can be of any assistance, do contact me,
&gt;
&gt;
&gt; Yours faithfully
&gt;
&gt;
&gt; Mark Plowman
&gt;
&gt;
&gt; P.S. Could you find out if the Windows 98 drivers
&gt; suitable/recommended for Windows 95?
&gt;

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Dear Customer :
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Our www web site had been updated now, please visit www.tecoimage.com.tw to
&gt; &gt; download the Win 98 / ME / NT / 2000 driver. Please read the instruction
&gt; &gt; first on each page before you download the driver.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; But for the Linux driver, we still under developing, if we finish this work
&gt; &gt; we will put on the web for download.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Best Regadrs

&gt; &gt; Subject: Relisys scanners
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Dear Sir or Madam,
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I have recently bought a Relisys SCORPIO Super 3 (VM3575) Scanner at a
&gt; &gt; &gt; local shop, and I would like to get it going under the Operation
&gt; &gt; &gt; System &quot;Linux&quot;.
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I quite understand the you &quot;don't do Linux&quot; - that's usual - we Linux
&gt; &gt; &gt; users are used to that.
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I have read that manufacturers in Taiwan are starting to realize that
&gt; &gt; &gt; Linux offers them some interesting marketing possibilities (you
&gt; &gt; &gt; *don't* have to invest in the software - the Linux programmers do that
&gt; &gt; &gt; - you *do* get the revenue from the extra products sold - you *don't*
&gt; &gt; &gt; have the technical support headaches - you *didn't* write the
&gt; &gt; &gt; driver!).
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Are you (or perhaps more correctly - your superiors) interested in
&gt; &gt; &gt; selling scanners to all those Linux users?
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Are you (or your superiors) prepared to release the specification of
&gt; &gt; &gt; what has to go over the line (SCSI, USB or parallel port) to your
&gt; &gt; &gt; scanners so the the Linux programmers can go and write the drivers?
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I am very interested to hear your reasoning and reaction!
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Yours sincerely
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Mark Plowman
