To SANE developers and users;

RE: SANE 0.72 (UMAX/Agfa driver)compatibility with LinoColor Jade(2) or
Agfa's SnapScan600.

My query is specific to one point: Confirmation that LinoColors'
Jade(2) or Agfas' SnapScan600 and StudioStar are supported and fully
functional. I have everything set up-software that is- courtesy of
Michael Sweets IRIX.tardist,(my gratitude to him for this and his
assistance.)
For those unaware of this treat, see Mike's Gimp Page at
`http://www.easysw.com/~mike/gimp/' for a complete set of binary
distributions of Gimp and Sane for IRIX. GO GIMP!! SANE makes SENSE!!

My system:
Single Workstation
SGI O2 IRIX 6.3
SANE 0.72
GIMP 0.99.29
gtk 1.0.1

I had read-from just a few words, "sane-umax for UMAX scanners and
Linotype Hell Jade" and the supported scanner list link to this, as well
as the Agfa 0.4 backend information on the SANE backends web page, but I
was naturally wondering if someone might be able to confirm from actual
experience or related correspondences that the scanners (I have
mentioned) will function appropriately with sane 0.72 under IRIX, or
not.
My first choice is the Jade(2). But before I make the purchase I need
to know current facts.
Also, details as to if the drivers deliver complete functionality from
the scanners attributes,ie; 600x1200dpi, 30bit, et cetera,. would be
helpful

Any insight into this matter is sincerely appreciated
