[sane-devel] Where can I find ppscsi driver?

[Hidagus Pa]

Hi Peter,
I checked all the RedHat kernel related RPMs and
didn't see any of them contains either ppscsi.o or
epst.o. Do you know which RPM contains them? I also
wonder if I can copy your ppscsi.o and epst.o to my
system. They might just work? What do you think?
Thanks,

Hida
