    Hello Frans,

    the sane backends do not run on windows in the moment.
    I think it is not really hard to add support for the scsi
    scanners. You "only" have to add support for the windows
    aspi layer in sanei_scsi.c, parport also may be relative
    simple. About USB support I have no idea.

    When you only want to run a client on windows and the scanner
    is connected on a unix machine you can use the network API of SANE.

    xsane does run on windows as a network scanning frontend.

    Bye
    Oliver
