Yes, I own one - this a canon printer with a scanner head - but I don't know if it suported with Linux - 5 years ago it wasn't. But this wouldn't be handy because it has a one paper feeder - so you can't scan a book or a newspaper/magazin in the bibliothek without cutting...
Second, I'm not convinced to have a battery in every device I would use with the Neo - so a battery powered hub would solve the problem for a view scans - otherwise a 230V should help. So it would be interesting to have usb power adapter like http://www.tinxi.de/product_info.php?cPath=43&products_id=321 (600mA 4.50 Euro +2.50 chipping) or with 1000mA for 9 Euro: http://www.tinxi.de/product_info.php?cPath=43_46&products_id=416 and combine this with small (battery powered) hup - adding an additional port for power in and adding a charging controll for the battery of the hub 1,5 kg is not realy mobil - but I guess I will look out for a used Lide 25 scanner (<30Euro, new: 50Euro) which is listed as "working" in device list of sane develop-cvs: http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html :) BTW seperate battery selfpowered eqipement has disadvantages: - expensive - heavy - mostly propritary batteries Halt, when you realy want to spend 350 US$ into a battery powerd scanner instad of a second Neo: http://www.planon.com/docupen_rc800.php But consider how many scans you must do with this and if it would not be cheaper to use a copy shop to scan the documents... A small sheap, lightwight hand scanner for USB would be interesting.... > >> I suppose Gimp would be a little too heavy for the Neo :-) > > > >Yay for geeks.

Sigh. ;) lool My laptop has only 128MB RAM and I can use gimp - so I would not be surprised to see gimp running on a Neo. > So no manipulating images after scanning and before faxing. No problem. > > >Meh - you'd only need SANE + XSane/xscanimage anyway. > > Excellent. http://www.imagemagick.org/ is a very nice tool, especialy when you will do something from the shell/remote.. and several times... E.g. there is a webpage with a rain radar, with imagemagick you can cut a part of this picture, maipulate, combine it... and make a weather background for your Neo every hour... Greetings, rob PS: Does somebody knows something about printing support for a brother mw-100 (DIN-A7 thermo printer) here is something about a mprint SDK for linux zaurus - but I can't read japanese and can't find a packet to download... http://www.hankoworld.com/mwprintersdk/sdk_Linux_020.html And a good page for linux on mobil devices and equipment... http://www.tuxmobil.org/ Linux and USB: http://www.linux-usb.org/ > > Michael > > _______________________________________________ > OpenMoko community mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
