Basic website for Sane with USB Support available
News From: Paul Smedley

Hi All,

I've created a basic (very basic!) website for Sane for OS/2 with USB support at http://smedley.info/sane.html

Updated binaries will be listed on this site, as well as information on current status of working scanners/backends.

Cheers.

Another Sane/2 Update
From: Paul Smedley

I've just rebuilt Sane/2 again to include latest usbcalls code.

If the previous build is working for you, there is no major reason to upgrade.

If the debug logs show hangs in usbbulkread - then this update is important.

Update requires new usbcalls.dll - http://smedley.info/usbcalls.zip

Once again, I'm providing two zips - the complete release: http://smedley.info/sane-cvs-latest-os2-usbcalls.zip & just the updated backend code (unzip over existing release) - http://smedley.info/sane-backends-latest-cvs-usbcalls.zip

Note that I've removed the date from the filenames so that the link always points to the latest version.

So far, I have received reports of the following scanners working: - Epson Stylus Scan 2000 (Epson backend) - Epson Perfection 1670 (Snapscan backend) - Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus (gt68xx backend) - Umax 1220U (umax 1220u backend)

Once again, please refer to test.cmd and readme.os2 for further information on using this release.

Cheers,

Paul.

Updated Sane/os2 build
News From: Paul Smedley

Hi All, Updated build of Sane for OS/2 now available.

For new installs: http://smedley.info/sane-cvs-20050707-os2-usbcalls.zip (approx 3mb)

For existing installs: http://smedley.info/sane-backends-20050707-cvs-usbcalls.zip

This releases fixes a bug in sanei_usb_get_vendor_product that caused the following error in the debug logs: [sanei_usb] sanei_usb_get_vendor_product: access method 2 not implemented

It also implements sanei_usb_control_msg

Note that I haven't yet implemented all of the API calls in sanei_usb.c

Based on feedback from users, these will be implemented. Therefore it is very important to send me the debug logs using the methodology in the readme file.

Cheers,

Paul.
