No, you don't need more hardware than the scanner and the computer
<BR>
(except a lot of patience...). You should read the documentation about
<BR>
the SANE-Standard (available at www.mostang.com/sane) and you should
<BR>
have a look at the pnm-backend. That is a kind of example-backend which
<BR>
reads a pnm image instead of driving a scanner. If you understand how
<BR>
it works, you know the basics about backends.
<BR>
Try to find out what hardware is built into your scanner and if there
<BR>
are similar devices that probably already have a backend.
<BR>
Getting information about the protocol of the scanner is mostly the
<BR>
biggest problem. If you are lucky the manufacturer releases some
<BR>
information. Otherwise you have to snoop the windows driver.
<BR>
<P>Best wishes

<EM>&gt; A friend of mine got a Memorex 6120P scanner and I'd like
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to write a back end.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; How do I do this? Do I need anything other than the

<EM>&gt; scanner and a computer?
