some historical stuff ;-) I started the Plustek backend two years ago after receiving a parallelpor= t scanner (OpticPro 9636T). As SANE is rather plattform independent, I only checked in the backend ocde , and not the kernel-mode driver ( as this one is only for various Linux Kernels available) ... This kernel-mode driver, available at my pages on the web, is named pt_drv (PlusTek_DRiVer) and during its' installation it creates the /dev/pt_drv entry... mknod is used to create device nodes!!!
