What should i do with a pda and a old scanner?
Good day Instructables :)
I have a old Acer Scanner 620 (flatbed scanner) and a pda.
the old scanner is too old to be compatible (remember that parallel port is dead long time ago) and the pda has a broken On button and the battery is damage.
What should i use these materials for?
What can i do with them?
Should i turn them into a spy camera (but i don't how to do that...) or something like that?
I want to use them for something besides throwing into the rubbish
Please help?
Here are the photos of the pda and the scanner:=

Hello Re-design :)
Thank you for replying to me on this matter, but the problem is that the software of the scanner is not compatible since parallel port is not used anymore...
How ever, if the software is compatible, it can be accomplished

You don't use the software that came with the scanner. There is open source scanner control software that will use the parrellel port and easily control your scanner.

Start here.
If not there then google "scanner camera" like I suggested and look for the software to use.

once again, thank you for your big help :)
But i don't understand.
supposedly, the drivers won't work because they are from a different manufacturer.
My old scanner is a Acer scanner, not a sane scanner

Hello good sir.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for the help you have been giving me.
I need advice, what should i do with a old monitor and what can i do with a pda that has a broken power on button and a damaged battery?
How can i use the pda without a battery and connected to the electricity ?
