Hi devs, Yesterday I won a canon lide 30 for 50p on eBay. I thought it would be fun to play with, but it occurred to me that I don't know if, as a project, if we have many scanner examples for testing and verifying regressions.
Its a bit difficult writing software for hardware that we do not possess. It is also a bit scary making anything but trivial changes without hardware to retest on. We have some open issues about the canoscan lide 220 but I don't know if any member here actually possesses one of the scanners it being supposedly a gl848. Some of these machines, particularly some of the older ones can be picked up for peanuts with a keen eye and a regular look on eBay, Craigslist and Gumtree. :D Has anyone considered putting together a more official collection of representative hardware for device dev work? Cheers Ralph
