Message-ID: <C6ro74.47x@cs.vu.nl> Keywords: handscanners genius b105a Sender: news@cs.vu.nl Organization: Fac. Wiskunde & Informatica, VU, Amsterdam Date: Sun, 9 May 1993 15:54:39 GMT Lines: 17 Hello! Recently I bought a Genius B105A hand scanner, a fairly new true-256- greyscale model. It gives good scanning results with the Windows software that came with it, and the OCR software isn't bad either, but I figure it will be fun to try writing OCR software myself, for 386BSD, of course after making a driver for it. So ... Is anyone working on a driver for 386BSD for the Genius B105A? For other (hand)scanners? It seems like a good idea to start a workgroup if more people are interested. Let me know what you think, and let's give 386BSD some eyes on wheels! Bye! Steven Reiz (sreiz@cs.vu.nl)
