I remember someone on this list wnating to make the driver give raw output,
this could be the first step towards a SANE driver. (simply a Meta-Backend)
Marco told me some time ago he was working on a SANE backend, but there seems
to be no contact with him anymore...

It really seems to be very confusing (at least after I read the SANE docs..
.)

Well I thought of a Meta-backend which simply reads raw data which is produced
by the "real" backend (our program with added raw funcionality)

hmmm... I'll have to check this out.

not really... but i haven't really understood the SANE stuff, yet ...

ok. I think i can remember I've posted a quick and dirty guide about what h=
as
to be changed in the program to make it output raw data to this list.
