I have a product called TrueScan that came with my NISCAN/GS hand
scanner. I think they make different driver modules for other scanners
as well. I forget who makes TrueScan, but I remember seeing ads for it
in the usual PC magazines.

As to how to write a driver, that could be different for each type of
scanner and most likely would be. You'd have to talk to the manufacturer
of the scanner to get interface information and go from there.

Good luck.
