I've been lent a Mustek/Paragon 6000CX scanner, which has a SCSI interface. This is a really cheap machine: the person who lent it to me paid DM 399 (about $260) for it, and it claims to offer 300x600 in 24 bit colour. If it works, it could be quite interesting. Somebody recently posted a message about a driver for this device, and I went and got hold of the sources. Unfortunately, the driver is only for BSD/OS 2.0 and Linux, is undocumented, and doesn't work on BSD/OS 2.1. Since I don't want to have my BSD/OS machine down for days, I decided to port the software to FreeBSD-current. Unfortunately, I'm up against documentation problems on two fronts: on the one hand, the software isn't documented, on the other hand the man pages scsi([34]) leave a lot to the imagination. I can probably fight my way through (*and* I'm prepared to fix the man pages), but if somebody has anything else they can point me to, I'd be very grateful. Greg
