Hi All, I'm considering to buy a six-year old flatbed scanner. It scans at 300dpi and uses a SCSI interface. The guy I'm going to buy it from used the scanner six years ago for his Macintosh. He used it about 10 times. It didn't work for about six years. Now he wants to sell it, but he lost all the software and documentation... This is my question : 1. Does anybody have the software / drivers for this scanner ? 2. How difficult is it to program a SCSI Scanner. SCSI is a real standard, so I think the real communication isn't a really big problem. I think this is the only communication a Flatbed Scanner has with the PC : SCANNER READY PC START SCAN SCANNER OK... STARTING SCAN SCANNER SEND BITMAP (001010100101010101, 1 bit per pixel) SCANNER READY PC OK So if I know the start command, receiving the bitmap isn't that difficult, isn't it ? Are there any SCSI libraries I need ? Can I use the ASPI standard ? I've got an Adaptec 1542cf Fast SCSI-II controller, which is downwards compatible. What kind of SCSI interface does a Macintosh have (I really don't know a thing about Macs) ? Thanks ahead, CU, Etwald Goes etwald@knoware.nl
