AppleScanGS was included on the System 6.0 Golden Master CD-ROM, with
complete source.  It requires an Apple SCSI card and the SCSIScanner
driver.  [If CVTech had done their GS/OS RAMFast driver properly, by
replacing Apple's SCSI Manager with their own one, and used the Apple
device drivers, then this software would work with a RAMFast.]

I haven't looked into it any further - I was planning to try it out
eventually, but haven't had an opportunity (or time).

It looks like it was written in MPW IIgs C.
