<EM>&gt; It works well with wine and my scanner driver was working under wine
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; as well, so you just have to get wine source code, modify the ASPI
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; driver so it logs every SCSI command to a buffer, then use this
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; utility to launch every twain command from the driver. And there you
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; are with a nice log of the protocol of your scanner. It is not very
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; readable, but when you don't have anything else, well...
</EM><BR>
<P>This may well be of interest to all those using the USB sniff program under
<BR>
Windows to reverse engineer their scanners as well.
<BR>
<P>The interesting thing is that the difficulty in reverse engineering a
<BR>
scanner driver protocol appears to be directly related to the difficulty
<BR>
in sniffing the protocol. For parallel port scanners this was always hard
<BR>
as they tend to hit the hardware directly. The shift to USB, and the
<BR>
development of the USB sniff program for Windows has made sniffing the
<BR>
protocol for USB scanners in comparison trivial. As a result SANE backends
<BR>
have started popping up.
