[cw-discuss] TWAIN

[Jeremy White]

Hi Attila,

I'm afraid you are probably out of luck.

CrossOver supports TWAIN, but in the opposite way you are looking for.
That is, CrossOver uses devices already recognized
by an xsane backend on your system and presents them to Windows applications.
So it won't help you connect a device that your Mac doesn't already recognize.

Cheers,

Jeremy
