Subject: scanner support?
Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org

It appears that the only scanner support currently available for
FreeBSD is for HP scanners.

I recently had the pleasure of using a Microtek E3 scanner.  It works
quite well, has good color, reasonable reasolution (300x600dpi) and
is very inexpensive (~$190).  It uses a SCSI interface and is
supposedly TWAIN compatible.

So how hard could it be to write some code to drive this thing?

Any pointers would be most appreciated.


Thanks

Richard
