    hey guys. i'm a new user :) interested in making an attempt at reverse
    engineering the parallel port protocol for my AcerScan 320P. I've made
    numerous attempts at getting some documentation out of Acer for just
    such a purpose; doesn't look like those attempts are bearing fruit.

    in my windows side when I install the MiraScan software it does seem
    to install a SCSI emulator in my devices list. perhaps doing this will
    be easier than I thought.

    regardless, I have access to a bunch of machines and I have a question
    for the list:

    what would be the best way to approach this? I had the intention to
    hook the scanner up to a dual parallel port card and just write a
    little debug program to pass through all information from one to the
    other and back again, recording the information as it comes through.

    but now i've been reading some sane-devel archives and i see that some
    people are running their software in Wine and running some sort of
    debugging process on it.

    any tips?

    thank you,
