I did this a while back, and even have my work stashed away some place if you're interested in it. It should still be applicable to pre-2.1.5 as I even kept the patches up to date via CVS, but I deleted them when I upgraded, and would have to get it off backups (which I might not have done). :( However, I couldn't get it to work, but in the process of debugging it found the user-mode driver that Richard Tobin wrote (now a port called hpscan) which works with all of the HP scanners I've come in contact with, which happened to be one of those I had. > Could you assign a character device major number for this SCSI scanner > driver? On NetBSD/i386 1.2 it lives at major number 18. In -current, there are no 'assigned' major numbers anymore as we are moving towards DEVFS. For now, I'd steal a major number and see if you can get it working first. Nate
