Attached is an email I received on this list on the same
subject (SANE backend for mtek scanners). It will be
based on the utility mtekscan.
Until the SANE backend is completed, you can use mtekscan
to scan.
Now, to the former employee of Microtek, could you help me
a little?? I tried using mtekscan on my IIHR and it didn't
work very well. As a matter of fact, it locked my SCSI
adapter. Can you provide me with any information so that
I may get mtekscan working w/ my IIHR??
BTW, the home page for mtekscan is:
http://fb4-1112.uni-muenster.de/ffwd/ffwd_mtekscan.html
Hope that hlps for now,
Michael J. Long

It's good to see the Microtek backend is gaining momentum! In fact, just on Saturday, Jeremy Rosenberger <mustang@henge1.henge.com> sent me a mail that he's making good progress on such a backend. It looks like it might be a good idea for the people with Microtek scanners to "get together" (this mailing list is, of course, a perfectly appropriate place to do so).
