[sane-devel] Re: Microtek ScanMaker 8700

Hi John,

[I'm forwarding this mail to the SANE-devel mailing list, maybe we get some 
comments from there]

well, hope never dies...
But to be honest, I personally don't have the possibility to do this. Someone 
who owns this device and has the motivation to do some programming and 
testing may do this, of course. There is a chance that IEE1394 via SBP can 
use the microtek2 backend ("The SBP-2 driver will install
a virtual SCSI controller, and from there on the device can be
accesses by any application that supports SCSI devices. To get
a IEEE-1394 scanner working, you load three modules: ieee1394, ohci1394
(or whatever driver your system requires for your controller) and
sbp2", quotation of Karl-Heinz Kremer)

Is there someone out there who might test if the backend responds to a 
Microtek IEE1394 Scanner??

Best regards

Karsten
