Yep, BeOS run SANE too!
:-)

SANE 1.0.3 was first ported to BeOS, under the name BeSANE, 
Massimiliano Origgi:

Then, I start a BeOS GUI SANE frontend project:
http://philippe.houdoin.free.fr/phil/beos/sanity/index-en.html

In this project process, I made a SANE 1.0.5 BeOS port and fix 
some issues I encountered with original BeSANE port, but since 
can't find time to update to latest 1.0.8. 
This SANE 1.0.5 BeOS port was never release publicly, 
however... (lazyness!) I may do it soon, eventually. ;-)

Since, another guy join me on Sanity project and 
release a first alpha version of the BeOS SANE GUI frontend: 
http://www.bebits.com/app/2847

As BeOS is not what we can call a UNIX family member OS, maybe it'll 
cool to show that SANE works on it too:

Platform: BeOS R5.0.x ix86 
Platform link=http://www.bebits.com/app/2680
Latest SANE version tested: 1.0.5
Compiler: gcc 2.95.3
User-level SCSI support: yes
USB support: yes
Shared library support: yes
Dynamic loading support: yes
X11 clients: no
GUI clients: yes: Sanity

Thanks.
