Quite, I think. If the scanner is that old your chances of finding a recent driver are miniscule. If you *do* find a driver for it, you'll still have to figure out how to use the driver. USB device manufacturers don't normally publish communication information, and certainly not at a device driver level. The USB "standard" gives you guidelines when creating a device, but leaves a lot to the imagination. And manufacturers have a lot of imagination. If you actually manage to talk to a USB device, you have no assurance of being able to leverage that information to other devices, even from that manufacturer. If you're attempting to create the holy grail of universal usb functions, I think you'll soon come to realize why this hasn't yet been done. I have a nice USB breakout box that I helped Kickstart, and it helps when trying to follow the communications stream in order to reverse-engineer how to talk to various USB devices, but it's still a *lot* of work. And without that box and the python tools that enable it, I wouldn't even try. -- Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
