<P>In my case there is no SCSI equivalent scanner [*]. It is true that the scanner may use a SCSI chipset somewhere, and I'll try to find the spec and all that, but these are newly developed scanners and I don't see why they would use the SCSI control set.

<P>I have not yet had a close look at the SANE back-end, but I take it from the responses so far that

<P>1. If the scanner uses the SCSI command set, then I should be able to hack the sbp2-ieee1394 driver and get the commands going. Worst case I'll have to write a new SCSI-like backend (not nice, but at least plenty of good examples to start from).
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>2. If the scanner does not use the SCSI command set then I'm, eh, set for more of a challenge? How coupled are the backend architectures to the underlying protocol (SCSI, USB, Parallel)? It seems I'll have to write a new backend with (a) a new command set and (b) a new underlying protocol. [This assumes I can get the specs, of course.] What's the ratio of complexity of (a) to (b)?

|
|
<P>[I guess the scanner may use an USB-like interface? It seems to me that FireWire is more like USB (like, serial for one) than SCSI.]

<P><P>[*] Actually, come to think of it, perhaps this is not strictly true. There was an older SCSI model, though with quite different specs. I'll try <A HREF="http://firewire.zawa.com/sbp2/sbp2_1394_012401.tar.gz">http://firewire.zawa.com/sbp2/sbp2_1394_012401.tar.gz</A> as a starting point [if I ever get the h/w]: thanks for the pointer. The scanner I'm looking at is the new Nikon film scanner.
