Hi !

I'm looking for a drivers for the scanner Canoscan Lide 500F. Is it already
available ? If not, is somebody working on it ? Can I help ?

If there is absolutly nothing for this scanner now, how can I try to write
this driver by my self ? I have some C programming experience, but I 've
never worked on such project.

Thanks for your help !

Jack

I've made some scans. They are under
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~sontag/sane/
(last part of the page)

Pierre Willenbrock wrote some patches, but they don't already work,

I think, the main difficulty is the motor control. The scanner make a
terrible noise, bot no move ...

I have not enought experience for patching the appropriate code.

Greetings!
        Ralph.
