<EM>&gt; Hi,

<EM>&gt; &gt; Yes indeed, should we go with generic lm983x (meaning whole line
</EM><BR>
starting
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt;from lm9830) or just the easy way and do only lm9831-lm9833?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I think lm9831-33 is enough as the lm9830 is parport, not USB. I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; didn't even know that there is a lm9833.
</EM><BR>
<P>After looking at hp4200 backend and lm9830 data sheet I find it rather
<BR>
cumbersome
<BR>
support for the whole family(there is some differences in register mapping
<BR>
between lm9830 and the rest of the bunch). lm9831-lm9833 is a piece of cake
<BR>
since there are almost no differences aside from 48bit capabilities of
<BR>
lm9833. Though we'll need a smart way of detecting lm9833 since the standard
<BR>
way (register 0x69 (Version Number) has defined the same values for lm9832
<BR>
and lm9833). The differences between 31,32, and 33 are minimal and porting
<BR>
hp4200 backend (dropping the parallel interface, and ironing out the
<BR>
differences in register mapping would be the simplest way to get a working
<BR>
backend in shortest time)
<BR>
<P>In the next few days I'll focus on:
<BR>
- getting as much info on the scanners using those chips ( all sorts of data
<BR>
eg. optical resolution, .ini files ,snoopy logs, CIS/CCD, etc.)
<BR>
- adapting hp4200 backend to work for lm983[1-3]
<BR>
- detecting lm983x (I got a routine for that, except lm9833 needs to be
<BR>
added(though I got an idea on how to tell the difference between 32 and 33))
<BR>
- detecting the size of DRAM
<BR>
- coarse calibration
<BR>
- fine calibration
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I think after we find out about the existing code we should start writing
</EM><BR>
some
<BR>
<EM>&gt; kind of mechanism to set the basic values of the chip depending on the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scanner type.
</EM><BR>
<P>May I propose an easy approach?
<BR>
How does taking those basic values from .ini settings from windoze drivers
<BR>
sound?
<BR>
<P><P>should I start a project on sourceforge?
<BR>
<P>Best regards,
<BR>
Adam
