I would really like to test this software out on my A1200 with SCSI and USB flatbed scanners, but I only have AGA. Is there any chance of a non-RTG version?

A massive Epson Expression color scanner that I got for free off Craigslist that works wonderfully with my A3000D and ImageFX.

The only scanner I've ever used on an Amiga is a Power Hand Scanner (B/W) which connects to the  parallel port.  It's been mothballed for over 15 years, but I remember having to scan images in strips and join them using Power's scanning software package.  Scanning and editing the images was a slow and painstaking experience, yet the results produced, gave a great sense of achievement and it was (perversely) great fun too!

Nowadays (on a PC) it's all too easy!

Then you need to talk to my PC scanning setup...
Been having a frustrating time with my PC scanning. HP4850 usb scanner to the HP Pavillion a1250n. All bought brand new a few years ago. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes of warmup time before the scanner produces results without color shifts or broken images. On the Amiga, switch it all on and scan within 5 minutes. Get what I need in one or two passes. The difference in dpi is tremendous between the two systems and the scanner on my Amiga doesn't do 35mm film...
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

@T3000

Ouch - something definitely amiss there.  I'm using an ancient scsi Epson1200 (that I bought for £4 from a carboot) on my WinXP system - takes a couple of seconds to warm up and about 10-60 secs to do a full colour A4 scan (depending upon resolution) with perfect results every time.

I do remember having similar problems with a parallel port Plustek which worked flawlessly on Win98, but was totally unreliable on WinXP.  It was basically a driver issue as there was no official XP driver support for it.

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

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

I am about to post an Epson ES-300C flat bed scanner with an adpro driver for sale. Back in those days my friend paid somewhere around $2000 for the scanner and $200 for the driver.

I have a nice Epson 1260 USB with negative and slide adaptors. Hasn't let me down, and once it's been profiled has produced consistently good results for about 5 years now!

I'll try it on the A1 under OS4 if you think your software might work there?

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.
