sane developers i've got the subject scanner along with the user manual. nikons name for the unit is scantouch. this unit also has the ax-45 transparency cover plate (which includes a lamp etc).
i'm unable to get any information on the scsi interface protocol from nikon, the user manual includes this information: scsi-2 interface twain compatible color separation: surface sequence 3 pass method scanning area: 8.5 x 14 in (216 x 356 mm) optical res: 565 x 1200 dpi compensation res: 1200 x 1200 dpi assign res: 15 - 1200 dpi a/d conv: 10bit/color output data: monochrome, halftone (1bit), gray scale (8bit), full color (24 bit) scanning mode: fast, normal, high-qual max scan speed: 2 msec/line sensor: 5000 pixel ccd linear the scsi query reponses with: [coolscan] 000: 06 00 02 02 1f 00 00 00 4e 69 6b 6f 6e 20 20 20 [coolscan] 016: 41 58 2d 31 32 30 30 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 [coolscan] 032: 31 2e 30 30 [coolscan] get_inquiry_values [coolscan] Found Nikon scanner AX-1200 version 1.00 on device /dev/scsi/scanner/c1t5d0 few words about the platform: ss-20 sparc, using sgen solaris 8 using gcc 2.95.2 at this moment i'm considering using either the umax or the coolscan backend as a starting point. any advice from those that have been there before will be appreciated aloha ras
