scanning in bochs
From: ####@####.#### (S.Tobias) Date: 4 Nov 2002 12:39:51 -0000 Message-Id: <3DC66993.nailDVU1BX3@main.amu.edu.pl> I hope someone might find this information useful. I have Colorado D600 30bit scanner. I haven't yet been able to scan anything in primax_scan. My observations are similar to the ones reported earlier by Mike Rothon, so it must be pretty same type. I have installed `bochs 1.4.1' (bochs has been free for about two years now). I have patched `bochs' so that its parallel port operations are redirected directly to hardware ports. Inside `bochs' I have installed Windows 95, Primax Twain driver and TaskBridge. I have enabled standard parallel ports (0x378 +0 +1 +2). Scanning within Twain interface was not much of a success. I have managed to scan a very small image at 75dpi in gray, and to make one prescan. Other times the session ended with "Scanner cannot scan" messages and usual system lock-ups and BSODs. Then I tried to scan within TaskBridge. Amazingly, I could scan quite a big picture (10MB size) in color in 1200dpi resolution. (It was frustrating slow, though.). And it never failed. Then I enabled (in `bochs') other ports (EPP: +3 ... +7 and ECP: +0x400 ... +0x402), but with no success. Neither Twain nor TaskBridge worked (miscellaneous behaviour). I realize it's a no solution, but nevertheless it might be useful for someone trying to make his scanner work.
