[sane-devel] How i can use 2 or more scanners at the same time??

Lov level scanner driver is required, gt68xx ie.

Scan heads packagins can ovelap themselves, there will be no dead space,
with constant y offset, it will be easy to produce image.

-=====--------- (head3)

There is easy way:
connect one controler to all motors
(split signal)
(each head will have own motor)
in one cycle all scanning all heads go 1 step,
then colect data from all scanning heads,
then make next step....
with dualcore or quadcore CPU collect all data
will not be a problem,
(conect heads to all usb ports avaible,
not to one potr or hub)
USB1.1 max transfer is 12 Mbit/s (1.5 MB/s)
so i.e. 10 heads can make max transfer about 120Mbit (15MB/s)
this is no problem download it and save to disk(s)
