USB Scanner and WinUAE
I have a HP 6300C scanner which I have used with a real amiga. I am trying to use it with WinUAE 1.4.6 through my laptop which does not have a SCSI. I am trying to get it to work using the USB. Is there a ###.device that I should I point BETAScan or FXScan to to recognize the scanner?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

There is no way to use an USB scanner with UAE.

Toni could write a usb wrapper (sorta), I mean the scanner is connected through USB on windows side,
but WinUae sees it as SCSI. A bit like the printer: a usb printer is seen as attached to parallel in winuae. |

This is basically the only compatible way but I am not interested in doing these kinds of features for free. (I am not even sure if this is possible in real-time)

More of a question of technical feasibility than a request:
Would it be within the bounds of reasonable possibility to write a WinUAE USB driver for the likes of Poseidon? |
