Thanks again, having lots of fun with it now. I'll be looking tomorrow<br>
and on Monday to see what I can get my hands on for terminators.<br>
<p>
One thing I've noticed though, and was wondering if anyone else had<br>
experienced it, was that when the scanner completes the pass and the<br>
lamp begins to move back into its original position, it doesn't go<br>
happily. It has a bit of a "bumpy" ride and makes a bit of noise. Its<br>
not too bad. I watched it go, and it just look like the motion is really<br>
choppy. It doesn't sound like there are gears getting messed up, just<br>
that its not moving smoothly back into the starting position. In windows<br>
it moves fine in that direction, so I know its not something physical.<br>
<p>
I'm not that concerned, since its all working fine, but if you've seen<br>
this before or just to add a possible problem to the list...<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
Lee<br>

<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Anyway, back to businees...I disconnected the tape drive internally from</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the controller card. I enabled termination on the card. The kernel</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; reports that termination is active. The kernel also reports that the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; card is an Ultra SCSI card, however my documentation does not mention</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; that. In any event, I converted the length of my SCSI cable from feet to</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; centimeters, and since its a 4' cable, that should be 121.92 cm, so I</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; should be under the limit. No luck, same issue.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I guess my next step is to go out and find a better terminator to put on</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the scanner?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Hm.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Is it an active terminator? If no, get one, you need an active one</i><br>
<i>&gt; for an ultra scsi card. It does not help to reduce the speed of the card</i><br>
<i>&gt; because the gradient of the signals is not changed!</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Test also the configuration of the scsi card:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; - try to reduce speed from 20/40 mhz (ultra/ultrawide) to 10/20 mhz (fast/fastwide)</i><br>
<i>&gt; or 5mhz(asyncronous).</i><br>
<i>&gt; - disable disconnect/reconnect</i><br>
<i>&gt; - disable tagged command queeing</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I know you already did this for one scsi id,</i><br>
<i>&gt; if possible , do this for the full card and not only for the scanner device.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; If all does not help - do you have the umax scsi card uds-11?</i><br>
<i>&gt; It is a very bad card but for some tests ... (read the umax.faq on my homepage for</i><br>
<i>&gt; more info</i><br>
<i>&gt; about that)!</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; May be you have a frien wit an ncr53c8xx scsi card or a good adaptec card, could be</i><br>
<i>&gt; worth to try with an other (not ultra) scsi card!</i><br>
