These are instructions sent to me by Michael Katz-Hyman on how he was able to get his AS6E parallel port model scanner working under Linux using Wine. Questions concerning this are best addressed to him, as he's the one that did it, not me. :-) This could be very useful in writing/debugging a SANE driver for the Artec parallel port scanners if anyone wants to help him along.

Here is how I did it:

Upgraded to the newset wine release: 980913

Made sure my .winerc file specified access to my parallel ports:

[ports]
read=0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0,0x278-0x27f,0x378-0x37f
write=0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0,0x278-0x27f,0x378-0x37f     

Dowloaded the newest Win3.1 drivers for the AS6E.  Make sure their the
newest.  To be sure just download from www.erols.com/mkatshym/as6e-31.exe

use wine to run the setup program and install the drivers.  Run wine on
the executable.  If you don't have the actuall Windows DLL's the font is
screwy but you should be able to figure out how the interface works, have
fun.
