Hello,
Although not a SANE user, I'd like to try and post a question about a
hardware experiment on a Epson gt-8000.
It occurred to me that if it is possible to project a negative on the
scanners glass pane using a slide accessory, it might also work to use a
photo magnifier (I mean the thing used to print in a (B&W) darkroom, an
Opemus 11 to be precise) with some kind of half transparent projection
surface, just if I would succeed in scanning with the lights off.
I guess that normally the scanner would notice a device connected to the
15 pin entrance on the rear, and maybe it would just be a matter of
shortcircuiting some of its contacts, but maybe there is a trick to do
it with one of the ini's that twain32 (win95) uses. (In the latter case
I hope there's a similar linux option or continue my quest elsewhere)
So please let me know if my question can be answered here...
Regards from Arnhem, Netherlands,
