[sane-devel] Sane backend for an intraoral X ray camera

[m. allan noah]

The device does not support twain. The device speaks a proprietary
protocol. The device is supplied with a windows driver which
translates that proprietary protocol into a twain interface. Unless
you plan to run the supplied windows driver, you'll have to start from
scratch. PINT was an attempted analog to TWAIN. It is defunct AFAIK,
having been replaced by SANE.
