Q: compiling sane aborts with error "virtual memory exhausted"
on slackware linux with gcc. What goes wrong?
A: The optimization set by "-O2" makes problems, try which one of the following
calls work:
make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O1"
make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O"
make CFLAGS="-g -Wall"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-parallel-port-scanners?
A: UMAX published their SCSI-protocol for scanners, but the
parallel-port-protocol is not published until now. Without
such informations I will not work on a driver!
Martin Mevald <martinmv@penguin.cz> is working on a driver!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-USB-scanners?
A: I don't know if there is a published protocoll for the UMAX-USB-scanners.
As far as I know there are no generic-USB-drivers on unix-systems in the
moment. For linux it is worked on a driver.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I get a black area at the top of the image. What's wrong?
A: This is a problem with some scsi-drivers.
For advansys-scsi-cards update to a new kernel which includes at least
the driver version 3.1E of the advansys-scsi-driver. Take a look at:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I want to use the scsi-card that comes with my umax scanner.
What card is it and is it supported by my os?
A: The cards that come with the umax scanners are very simple cards.
I suggest not to use this cards.
If you really want to try:
the UDS-IS11 is a DTC3181E-card based on the NCR5380-chip.
On linux you may have the chance to get it work with the recent
g_NCR5380-driver. The card does not have IRQ/DMA.
Try the following option for kernel/module:
dtc3181e=0x280,254
(Thanks to Colin Brough for that tip)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I use linux with a NCR/Symbios logic SCSI-Controller, sane does not work
right.
A: There are two differen drivers in the linux Kernel/modules.
Use the BSD-driver!
