I also sent this to I've Been Moved, but got only a robotic response,
geared for windoze users of course...
Cheers, Gene

attached mail follows:
I find many references to Shining Technology buried in the various files
on the accompanying cd.
This leads me to believe that the sparcsi module from the ppSCSI (V0.91)
package might be a suitable driver. With some difficulty, I had to
apply the patches to config.in by hand, I have made it compile on a
2.2.13 machine.
It *is* the only one I can 'insmod sparcsi' without getting 'device or
resource busy' messages.
However, I'm not having any luck actually talking to it, or finding it
with the sane/tools/find-scanner -d /dev/whatever, possibly because I
don't know what device is the *real* device for parport accessed
scanners. linux seriously needs an index with a short description of
the functions available thru each such device.
It does claim TWAIN_32 compliance, and appears to be a quite simple pcb
in the unit, the largest chip haveing an 'HRP8701' stamped on it, along
with a logo that may be Shining Technologies image.. Most
of the rest of them appear to be tsop versions of the usual ttl/cmos
glue logic.
Can you offer any help, url's and such?
Cheers, Gene
