Not yet. If I'm not mistaken, the Microtek scanners use the Onspec 90c26
parallel port adapter. I am working on a SCSI driver for this device
and expect to have something "soon".

Do not go out and buy one based on this - but if you have one already,
feel free to pester me from time to time. Watch this list for announcements.

Part of the process of designing this driver is a reworking of all the
parallel port SCSI drivers to use a common framework - and to address
some of the SCSI issues that were not properly handled in my earlier
drivers. Dave Campbell is also involved in this process - but we are
both very busy, so progress is a little slow :-(
