This should be your last resort; if you are unlucky chips are unmarked or just one big ASIC. > Is reverse engineering the Windows or Mac drivers a possibility for > determining the chipset?

Worth a look (.inf files are text files) HTH -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
[sane-devel] Brother DCP315CN scanner
Had this printer / scanner working pre ubuntu 13.10, doesn't work with 13.10 :-( Link to brscan2 source code: * http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan2-src-0.2.5-1.tar.gz&lang=English_source I tried configuring and building but it is old and many of the required packages aren't available. The source needs updating. Other source files: * http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_src.html -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[sane-devel] Neat NM-1000
Hello, I have a Neat NM-1000 scanner that I would like to try to get working with SANE. Someone previously tried to get it working, but ultimately could not determine which chipset it uses: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2011-June/028637.html The chipset is still not detected with the latest SANE backends (1.0.24). 'sane-find-scanner -v -v' reports: The e-mail linked above suggested using usbsnoop on Windows to capture a log, from which it might be possible to determine the chipset. I installed usbsnoop from http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/, but it does not seem to be functional in Windows 7. Is there another USB sniffer that might capture the relevant information? Would it be possible to determine the chipset from taking it apart and examining the internals? There seem to be no accessible screws on the device, so I am not sure I can open it without breaking it (but am willing to do that as a last resort). Is reverse engineering the Windows or Mac drivers a possibility for determining the chipset? Maybe running them through 'strings' would be revealing? Thanks, Kentrell
