Hmm - I was plagued with problems with my 2920 on a fast (200+ MHz) machine.<br>
I was always having the scsi bus freeze and lock (usually under heavy i/o load),<br>
not only with the penguin-os, but even using<br>
win-dos95 :-) I tried different disks, cables and termination, but I finally gave<br>
up on the card.<br>
Not too sure if I just had a bad card..... or if this is similar to what you are<br>
experiencing.<br>
The 2940 is a much-much better card!<br>
<p>
Lots of luck.<br>

<i>&gt; Sorry if I'm repeating questions, I don't recall seeing the beginning of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; thread.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Is the 2920 terminated?</i><br>
<i>&gt; Make sure you haven't left the ZIP terminator switched on in addition to the UMAX</i><br>
<i>&gt; supplied terminator.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; It sounds like you are using the cable that came with the ZIP. What's the other</i><br>
<i>&gt; cable you are using, I'm not familiar with the 2920 does it use a 25 pin D Sub,</i><br>
<i>&gt; a 50 pin Centronics type or a 50 pin High density?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Try simplifying your SCSI cabling. Does it work without the ZIP drive attached</i><br>
<i>&gt; using the shortest cable and the supplied terminator?. If this passes or fails,</i><br>
<i>&gt; try the longer cable. If both work or not try adding the ZIP to the end of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; buss and using the internal termination in the ZIP to terminate the buss. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; think the UMAX supplied terminator is passive, the one in the ZIP is active and</i><br>
<i>&gt; should do a better job.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; I have a ZIP and UMAX 1220S as well. I would put the ZIP at the end of the buss</i><br>
<i>&gt; instead of the scanner. I've tried other configurations and "seem" to remember</i><br>
<i>&gt; having problems. I also "think" I had problems with the UMAX supplied cable but</i><br>
<i>&gt; it's been a while and it may have been due to another device causing problems. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; also tend to have alot of cabling/devices in my setup which can be problematic.</i><br>
<i>&gt; You tend to get alot of discontinuities on the bus and different cabling with</i><br>
<i>&gt; different impedances which can degrade the buss. Your setup doesn't sound like</i><br>
<i>&gt; it should be a problem as long as the terminators are working properly which the</i><br>
<i>&gt; above tests may help determine.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; I'm currently running 4 internal devices on a 5' ribbon and 3 external devices</i><br>
<i>&gt; with about 8' of cable using an Adaptec 2940 and it's working (allways knock on</i><br>
<i>&gt; wood). The scanner is the first external device on the buss, then the ZIP and</i><br>
<i>&gt; finally an actively terminated hard drive is on the end of the buss.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Hope that helps. Good luck</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; The scsi bus is terminated at the scanner using the terminator that came with</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; specification. I have on 6 foot cable going from the scsi card to the zip</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; drive, and a three foot cord from the zip drive to the scanner.</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I just bought a brand new UMAX Astra 1200S scanner specifically for use</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; scanner. I am using the card on an adaptec 2920 PCI card with a zip</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; drive in-line with the scanner.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I have run the scanimage -T with a dll debug level of 128. Everything</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes fine, until it reaches the do_calibration command. Then it just</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; sits waiting for the scanner. I can usually &lt;ctrl&gt; c out of it, but any</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; attempt to unload the sg module and fdomain module results in a total</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; system lock up.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Any help with this would be great. I am really looking forward to</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Hi Nathan,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; is the scsi bus terminated correct on both ends of the bus,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; how long is the scsi bus (all scsi cables together)?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; is the driver for your scsi controller up to date?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Is disconnect reconnect disabled?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Bye</i><br>
