-not sure if my email sent this or not so sending it again:
I posted to this list several months ago with the intention of writing a
driver. The dialog between me and microtek went like this:
Request:
please provide some specs etc. to camera
Reply:
We do not have the information you require over here (in Microtek Europe),
but I will ask our headquarters in Taiwan if they can provide this
information.
Request:
Hey I haven't heard anything for ages, whats going on guys?
Reply:
Taiwan has informed us that they are not allowed to give out the source code
of the drivers.
The contact I had at Microtek was Bert Bakker (mailto:bbakker@Microtek.nl)
If someone with contacts at microtek can get some more information I would
appreciate it as I can't really do anymore without some more info. (I'm
sure Microtek are not anti-releasing source as I found source code on their
ftp server for their scanners)
I got quite into writing the driver and it was a lot of fun but after the
last response I got a bit disheartened and have not touched it since. The
driver is up on my website http://www.sgriff.com and should compile under
2.4. It does a bit of camera initialisation and tries in various ways to
get some streaming video but to no avail :-(
If anyone else fancies hacking please have a go and let me know how you got
on
