Hi everyone,

As requested I have put my standalone program
for accessing this scanner on the web. You can
find it at:

http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/~jamesp/scanner.c

I have looked in detail at existing sane support
for similar scanners, and I think a lot of the
code can be reused. The high level protocol used
by the 600 II EP is SCSI, very similar to the
600 II N's, so much of the code in mustek.c will
be usable for this. The low level parallel port
stuff in sanei_pa4s2.c also looks applicable to
this scanner. I think I can make it work with
small changes to these existing modules, and a
new module (say mustek_scsi_pp.c or something) to
connect them together.

Should I be working with the sane-backends-1.0.12
package or is there a CVS repository somewhere
with more up-to-date development code in?

Thanks,
James
