Message-ID: <20010723135659.9A4F4199DD@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)

//the SCSI-2 standard (somewhat stupidly) only specifies
//how to get data from scanners, and says nothing about
//the format of the data itself.

well okay, that seems like a reasonable place to start. so... anyone
done anything for getting the data from scanners? it looks like i
need the Extended Read command, which scuzz can't do but
might know something about (it's in scuzz/scsireq.h). there's also
some scanner specific stuff that might be needed, a "scan" and a
"get window" (i think) command.

on using APE:
well, that could work. i've used SANE under Unix, but it's a beast
to build. anyone know of any other scanner software that works by
sending scsi commands (rather than through a specialized driver)
that might be worth trying?
