Two Epson scanners at the same time (OS: Linux, MAC etc.)

I've two scanners (Epson Perfection V750) and I would work on those
pair exactly at the same time because I want spread out scanning area
(after hardware modifications). OS doesn't matter (Mac OS, Linux etc.).

Please help me. MOD

Thanks.
 
Most people have problems getting Windows to recognize two scanners being
powered up and connected at the same time on the same computer, so you will
probably want to investigate the other OS's.

What this thread has to do with radio scanners will forever remain a
mystery.

I don't talk about Windows, because I've Linux and Mac, so I need plug
both scanners under control those OS's. Does anybody know how do this?
(Both scanners must scan at the same time).

Shouldn't be a problem under Linux at least. Just run two instances of
your scanning software with the relevant scanner chosen for each one.

At the very least, the command line driven scanimage (part of the sane
backend download) can take a scanner device as a target source. Very
useful if you are scanning a batch the same size. Just set the
height/width and use the batch commands (intended for auto doc feeders but
you can set it to ask for a key press between scans while you change the
photo)
 
If you place a large sheet across two scanner beds there will be an
inevitable gap in coverage.
Ergo I have no idea what you have in mind or how it would be in any way
better than stitching together sections of the sheet scanned on one machine.
I have done the latter many times and with a decent panorama program, like
the one built into CS2, seamless results are not difficult to obtain.
