Hi Henning, hi list,
<BR>
<P>I'd like to support you in writing such a backend. I have obtained source code
<BR>
from Plustek and a test device (Optic Pro UT12).
<BR>
I first planned to integrate the USB support into the current Plustek-backend
<BR>
(for parallel port scanners), but as there are quite a lot of other LM983x based
<BR>
scanners, I think it will be much better to have one &quot;generic&quot; backend for these
<BR>
devices.
<BR>
<P>As soon as I have some time, I will check the stuff that you already have.
<BR>

<EM>&gt; Hi,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I just wanted to ask everyone who worked on drivers or other programs
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; for LM983x based scanners what's the status of this work. I had quite
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; a lot of questions about these scanners and some people offered help.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; If I remeber correctly, there is even a CVS repository for some code.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Should we set up a page summarizing the available docs and the code
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that was written until now? I could do that. Maybe a mailing list
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; would be nice? If there are some people willing to write code, maybe a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sourceforge account would be appropriate (including mailing list and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; CVS)?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The idea was to write one backend for all the 983x (x=1 + 2) based
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scanners and just add the different settings of each scanner (e.g. RAM
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; size, detector type, buttons) to some sort of ini file or some
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; constants in the code. My suggestion is to add a file
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sanei/sanei_lm983x.c (or similar) to include the low level read and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; write functions for the chip.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I will probably have some time in the next weeks (or weekends) to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; write some code and do testing. In the last months I haven't done
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; much, my test program can be found on <A HREF="http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/download.html">http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/download.html</A>
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; however. I myself own a Mustek BearPaw 1200 and 2400.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; There is a lot of documentation about the chip set and we have even
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; source code for Windows drivers so it should be possible to write a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SANE backend, it's just a lot of work.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Comments?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Bye,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Henning
