Subject: SCSI Scanner anybody?

I guess this is going to be a "You gotta be kidding me!" type question, 
but does anybody know what would be involved in driving a SCSI scanner 
(eg: something like an Epson GT-8500, HP Scanjet 3C, Sharp JX330 etc)

Or is this something that's doomed because of top-secret proprietary SCSI 
commands to the likes of windoze/crapintosh/photo$hop etc?

Is programming information even likely to be available?  (The kind of 
response I most often get when asking for that sort of info here locally 
is: "You want what??")

Cheers,
