It is a must if you want to investigate drivers.
I would love to have it go to a good home, for something to the RNLI.

The only reason for me holding onto XP on this computer is because there
are no drivers for my ancient scanner in Sane. Would this book give
some/any assistance in me writing my own, or modifying existing ones if
I can locate the source for a simialr scanner?

I can't say as I wrote a driver from scratch and couldn't have done it,
linked it embedded it or anything else without the book. But from my
experience on other systems I would say modifying an existing driver is
better - but you still need the know how to test it, debug it etc etc..
