Hi Luca: <br>
<p>
I sent essentially this message to sane-devel a month or so ago. I<br>
re-posted it to debian-user in response to a similar question there and<br>
the person who asked the question said that his scanner now works<br>
perfectly. Annoying, as my Artec AT12 will still only do 1 scan before<br>
refusing to communicate any more. However the person whose scanner worked<br>
was using kernel 2.2.3 and I am still on 2.2.1 and SANE 1.0.0 so maybe I<br>
need to upgrade. <br>

<p>
This sounds as if it could be the same card as is supplied with the Artec<br>
AT12 scanner. Here is the message I sent to SANE-Devel recently about<br>
this. I have updated it slightly since then. If you get this card to work,<br>
do please tell me!<br>

<p>
The card that comes with the Artec AT12 scanner is similar if not<br>
identical. According to the Windoze98 device manager it is called a<br>
DTC3181X/3151X. The chip on it bears the letters DTCT436P. It has two<br>
jumpers. <br>
<p>
Domex's web site (www.domex.com.tw or www.domexusa.com but NOT<br>
www.domex.com) doesn't list this board, but does list a board called<br>
DMX3181LE which I suspect is identical to mine and probably to yours too.<br>
They do not provide a Linux driver for this board (although they do for<br>
some of their PCI SCSI cards). They provide a short FAQ which explains<br>
what the jumpers do (sort of...). One jumper switches between plug-n-play<br>
and plug-n-run mode. I don't know what this means: my card is set to<br>
plug-n-run. For the other jumper I quote:<br>
<p>
J2 1-2: OFF 1WS ( "One Wait State" means CPU waiting one CLK to process<br>
peripheral devices) *<br>
<p>
1-2: ON 0WS ("Zero Wait State" means CPU waiting zero CLK to process<br>
peripheral devices )<br>
<p>
The default setting is 1WS: I don't know what this means either. I'd be<br>
grateful if someone could enlighten me!<br>
<p>
If this doesn't sound like your card, please ignore the rest of this<br>
message. <br>
<p>
===============================================================<br>
<p>
In my experience, you can't get these cards to work with kernel 2.0.34 but<br>
you can with 2.2.1. You have to compile the kernel with generic NCR5380<br>
scsi support and use the boot prompt argument dtc3181e=0x2c0,0. (This is<br>
the bit that you need to know. Just turning on all the SCSI devices will<br>
NOT work).<br>
<p>
I still have not got my AT12 working well: it does one scan at most and<br>
then refuses to respond. I don't know if this is a SANE problem or a SCSI<br>
driver problem. I suspect the latter as other AT12 users can use SANE and<br>
they are usually using other SCSI cards. <br>
<p>
Other "features": <br>
<p>
(*) The card is always detected at bootup. <br>
<p>
(*) The scanner is only detected if it is turned on on at bootup. you<br>
can't turn it on later and do something like<br>
<p>
echo "scsi add-single-device 2 0 5 0" &gt; /proc/scsi/scsi<br>
<p>
to add the scanner <br>
<p>
(*) If the scanner has been detected and you then turn it off, the machine<br>
locks up solid and requires use of the Microsoft button to restart it. <br>
<p>
I wondered at one time if it would be better to use a kernel module for<br>
the scsi support. I tried this and it does allow you to turn off the<br>
scanner without immediately locking up the machine. A lock-up does,<br>
however, occurr (IIRC) if you try to unload the kernel modules. <br>
<p>
Do please report whether your card is the same as I describe and whether<br>
you succeed in getting it to work.<br>
<p>
HTH!<br>
