BTW, if you read up to this point, i would design a book scanner in an other way, especially, no parallel (to scanning lamp) covering glass, but, rather, a roof-like glass construction *( to avoid book damage) and a mirror + sw to convert it to rectangular page.... just my two cents ;-) sry if it's offending, but i'd like to see an open specification for any , be it desktop, scanner. BTW, i consider supporting ONLY windoze a violation of a free business contest law, IMHO.... sry 1 more, i just wted 2 know anybody uses a scnr on NATIVE p9.... ++pac
