However, yesterday I borrowed a 18bit color scanner, and it uses the same GI1904 board inside the PC. The driver can communicate with the color scanner as well, although I don't know 1) how to set the resolution and operating mode (gray/color; I suspect that the scanner always sends the same things, then the sw does the appropriate changes); 2) what is the format of the data which come out: with 1 byte/pixel I can see something resembling the image being scanned, but don't know how the three colors come out. If someone has these information I'd be glad to incorporate them in the driver. Another thing: does some people in Europe know how to contact a company named "Trust", which manufactures a lot of PC peripherals here in Italy ? Their local representative is called "Aashima", but I suspect they are just importers of the product.
