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.
