Well, SANE grok's SCSI and USB transports for the same underlying commands..

If scanners supported SCSI they'd be umass devices, generally they're not, you attach uscanner to them and then feed them to SANE. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
