Good news for both the SANE and the Linux1394 project:
<BR>
The EPSON scanners with Firewire (IEEE-1394) interface
<BR>
are now supported in a Linux environment using the SANE
<BR>
software.
<BR>
<P>The IEEE-1394 interface is as easy to use as USB, but
<BR>
a lot faster (up to 400MBit/s). This makes it interesting
<BR>
for users who need a fast scan, but don't want to deal with
<BR>
all the problems associated with SCSI interfaces.
<BR>
<P>Behind the scenes the scanner uses the SBP-2 protocol, which
<BR>
is basically just a wrapper around the SCSI commands.
<BR>
<P>In order to get the scanner interface working, I had to modify
<BR>
the SBP-2 driver so that it would handle a non-storage device
<BR>
correctly. The EPSON scanners are therefore now the first non-
<BR>
storage devices that are supported by the SBP-2 driver.
<BR>
<P>The instructions about how to get things working can be
<BR>
found at <A HREF="http://www.freecolormanagment.com/sane/ieee1394.html">http://www.freecolormanagment.com/sane/ieee1394.html</A>
<BR>
<P>Please let me know if you run into any problems.
<BR>
<P>Thanks to James Goodwin for his valuable tips about where to
<BR>
look for potential problems in the SBP-2 driver and to EPSON
<BR>
for providing the interface card.
<BR>
