Greetings TWG;
<BR>
<P>I'm trying to resolve a very serious and expensive problem. My
<BR>
company is Northrop Grumman and we're a government Defense
<BR>
Contractor. Several years ago we purchased for the government,
<BR>
several thousand Logitech Pagescan Color scanners (parallel port
<BR>
version) for a contract we were working. About two years ago
<BR>
Logitech made the business decision to leave the scanner business and
<BR>
henceforth, sold their scanner patent to a company called Storm
<BR>
Technologies. Some time later, Storm Technologies filed for
<BR>
bankruptcy and went out of business -- leaving no support for the
<BR>
scanner.
<BR>
<P>About a year ago the project decided to upgrade the PC platform to
<BR>
Windows 2000. A number of pretest measures were taken to ensure the
<BR>
software application was compatible with the W2000 upgrade. But
<BR>
unfortunately, no one bothered to verify beforehand that the scanner
<BR>
would operate properly. Now, to our misfortune, we find it would
<BR>
not! Apparently, the device driver is no longer compatible.
<BR>
<P>Logitech was (and as far as I know, still is) part of the original
<BR>
TWAIN consortium. Several persons have said to me that it may be
<BR>
possible that there is a TWAIN driver that can be used as a driver
<BR>
for the Logitech Pagescan Color scanner. Is this the case? If not,
<BR>
then is it possible that the specifications for designing a new
<BR>
driver for the scanner for Windows 2000 might be acquired through the
<BR>
TWAIN Working Group? If no to both of these questions, is there any
<BR>
way that I can possibly find a copy of the driver specifications
<BR>
needed to develop a driver for this device. Please not that Logitech
<BR>
has already told me that they no longer support the device and Storm
<BR>
Technologies is now defunct.
<BR>
<P>I appreciate your assistance.
<BR>
