Could I get that from you.

ooh ooh, I want that too! This sounds better than 3). You've done well.

I had a go at disassembling the 'Mirascan.ds' driver that comes with my
Acer 620ST. Haven't had too much success... Haven't had enough time. All
I wanted to do was 'sniff' the SCSI bus and find out how the scanner is
'warmed up'.
