Dear Friends I need some help to find linux driver for Canoscan 8000F. I opened the metal sheet covering the ASIC on the Main PCB. I appended the photo of it for your reference, unfortunately the conference rejected it. If anyone would need the photo let me know and I will send it asap. I got some more info downloaded for servicing this scanner. Please let me know if any of you got the driver for it. I use Ubuntu on virtual PC but as soon as I get this driver than probably quit Windows for good. Thank Regards Vagisha -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you cannot run the machine due to missing software or dongle, you cannot snoop on the communication protocol. No snoops = no reverse engineering. allan On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Pete Lancashire wrote: > Ever since Fuji got out of the scanner biz the price has been dropping > fast, very fast.

yep, thats why my offer for this thing is only $100. Be one of those projects with the goal of someday finding either some internal docs or a Mac with the code and dongle. There's a 43" wide x infinate length scanner in the garage in the same state. .. but it was "free". -pete On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 7:05 AM, m. allan noah wrote: > If you cannot run the machine due to missing software or dongle, you > cannot snoop on the communication protocol.
