filmscanners: VueScan support for UMAX USB scanners

2001-02-21 Thread Dana Trout 

Ed, do you plan to support the UMAX USB scanners, like the Astra 2100U
and its brethren?

I ask because I'm trying to use one for building profiles and VistaScan
(UMAX's scanner software) is helping me entirely too much. I believe
that with VueScan I would be able to get scans that haven't had as much
"correction" and other unwanted manipulation.

No, I don't.  These scanners don't use the same types of commands
as the SCSI Umax scanners and would be quite difficult to
reverse-engineer.  Umax also won't document the USB commands
needed to control these scanners.
