I am trying to develop an TWAIN driver of a sort.  I found a kerenel driver 
called PINT, which stands for PINT Is Not Twain.  Unfortunately, I have found 
the most recent version of the software out on the 'net, then I ran out of 
spare time (which is good when your a consultant 8).  If you have the time and 
would like the sources, let me know and I can send what I have to you.
