Scanner for the Amiga

[rzookol]

I'm working on new scanner software called SCANdal (previous name was muiscan).
It's Morphos project but Shinkuro helps me making ports for other Amigaoses.

I have 68k beta so If somebody could test it would be nice:

Gfx card is required and software use betascan drivers. New scanners will be supported when uptodate betascan port (including sane backends) will be finished (progressing well).

about scaners:
I have two scanners: big and fast Umax Astra 1200S (A4 in grey mode in 15 secs using 68k betascan driver and 18 secs using native morphos driver ), and slow Mustek 600II CD. Both works. I have some scanners using popular gt68xx chip so next drivers will be made for this chipset.

Yes, it should work. I tested it on e-uae and it works.

Maybe in the future, I want to finish drivers first.

btw. Stable 68k version will be uploaded to aminet  today.

No, usb scanners doesn't work with AmigaOS4.x, on morphos/aros/amigaos3.x there is usbwrap.class which creates usbraw.device and driver can communicate with scanner via this device. AmigaOS4.x doesn't have such a class/device so i can only work scsi scanner now. Thylacine which uses 68k version of Sirion has similar device: usbscanner.device but afaik it doesn't work with AmigaOS4.x.

There is native AmigaOS4.x SCANdal version available on OS4Depot, should work with scsi scanners.
