I've got my hands onto a Nikon LS-1000 dias-scanner (with the slide feeder
SF-100), and [probably] being stupid, I'm going to try to write a backend for
it. I've got it hooked up to a HP Apollo 735 running HPUX 9.05 (which also has
a ScanJet IIc attached, which works xscanimage), which I'm going to use as a
development platform.
Since I really don't have a clue, I'm probably going to need some help. I've
found a Linux driver for Nikon LS-20 at
<ftp://ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/linux/sunsite/apps/graphics/capture/coolscan-0.2.tgz>,
but this one specifies that it won't work on the LS-1000 (how typical!). I've
contacted the Norwegian Nikon representative, in order to get technical
manuals, but they've been slow to respond.
I need to know if there are any "standard" commands for scanning, or if this
differs for each scanner. I need to know if there are anything I can do that
would damage the scanner. In fact, any and all input from you guys out there
would be appreciated!
Yours,
Per Harald Myrvang
