I was glad when I first heard about the SANE project, that it has made
it possible for linux users to easily have access to scanners.
However, when I went through the available list of scanners, mine was
not on it.
Guess My scanner is too local - It's an InterScan 636p plus by
IntreSource, a singaporean company. Coupled with the lack of hackers
in singapore, I don't really think I can get to use my scanner on
Linux.
However, I wonder if anyone of you out there can tell me what kind of
info I can post on mailing lists that hackers out there may be kind
to write drivers for fellow users of my scanner?
I include a copy of my mail to the company.
:)Merry Christmas.
Eddie.

Hi Eddie,
It's seem that from the list of scanners, canon 600 seems to
be a closest match to our model. You may like to try that but
we do not promise any result.
As far as i know, we do not have any intention of developing
of Linux drivers in the coming future. Maybe you'd like to
enlighten me what kind of specs is required for the linux
community and i will check if the R&D is willing to release
the information.
Regards, Technical Support
