That is definitely out of my budget, so I'm taking the other approach
(getting the docs).
The umax backend seems ok, with little modifications, I got it to do
simple things like the INQUIRE and POSITION commands on the COOLSCAN,
and these seem to work. It even reads data but unfortunately the
picture I get is a 28.8 Meg file all black ;-).
I'm now waiting for some detailed interface specs from Nikon to go
further and I have good hope, as at least they replied to my faxes and
phone calls.
