Hi Wojtek,
I haven't made much progress since then. If you want, I can send you
or anyone else the current source code. At the moment, all I have is
a Linux device driver which can read/write registers on the scanner ASIC
and a few simple test programs. The scanner has to be controlled at a very
low level. I am still trying to work out how to control the stepper motor.
I have been able to switch the lamp on/off detect whether the cover is
up/down and move the scanner head home. I have been looking at the Plustek
parallel port driver and my driver will need to do a lot of the same things.
I am 99% certain that I have correctly reverse engineered the low-level
protocol but I still need to work out what the internal scanner registers
mean. At the moment I don't use the parport driver and I need to clean up
some of the code.

I would like to ask if anybody continues the work announced in:
http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/1998-12/0231.html
I'd like to help in testing/developing the driver.
(I have the 9636P which AFAIK is equivalent to 12000P).

TIA
