In principle, the SANE API isn't based on a type of operating system.
The implementation of sane-backends, however, expects to be built on a
Unix-like system.

So I guess porting (parts of) SANE to DOS will be quite a lot of work
especially considering how to access SCSI or USB devices at all.

Bye,
