<P>
Randolph,
<BR>
<P>Quite well understood how &quot;other things&quot; thwart our best intentions... it
<BR>
certainly happens often to me.
<BR>
<P>Nonetheless, I will start my effort on the fi-4750C with this concept in
<BR>
mind. I have had a short conversation with Frederik Ramm and it seems that
<BR>
it is the right time to do this... before we end up with 10 drivers with
<BR>
mostly common code.
<BR>
<P>FYI, I have 3 Fujitsu scanners for testing...
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1) SP10C
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2) SP600C
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3) fi-4750C
<BR>
This seems to be a nice complement to the others that are being discussed.
<BR>
<P>Thanks for your contributions (and those that came before)... from which I
<BR>
am benefiting...
<BR>
<P>Tom Davis

</EM><BR>
<P>When I wrote the drivers for the m3096g and sp15c, I didn't want to break
<BR>
one working driver by adding code for the other scanner. That was the
<BR>
sole basis for having two drivers.
<BR>
<P>The two scanners have different firmware, and thus have slightly different
<BR>
command sets. Nevertheless, it seems a very good idea to merge the two
<BR>
code bodies because of the amount of common code. That was my intent,
<BR>
but alas, other things grabbed my attention.
<BR>
<P>I would welcome the effort by someone to do the dirty work, and
<BR>
since I have both of the original scanners at hand, can help with
<BR>
testing.
