This seemed very strange to me too, but apparently the problem has been <br>
resolved. <br>
<p>
First, it wasn't a matter of the scanner blocking the scsi bus -- it had an<br>
entire scsi bus to itself on an Adaptec 1522 (which turned out to be the<br>
problem)<br>
Second, I'm using the "pt" driver, although i suspect the "uk" driver would<br>
work too now that I've moved the scanner to an Adaptec 2940W. <br>
Everything works more or less fine now, except the scanner still needs to be<br>
the _only_ device on the bus. If I put a disk on the same bus as the scanner,<br>
(with a different SCSI id# obviously) accesses to the disk time out and stuff.<br>
It seems like it may be a termination issue, which I'll fiddle around with<br>
some more. <br>
But anyway, it will not work at all using an AHA1522, with either a Umax or<br>
an HP4c scanner. <br>
<p>
Thank's for all the help! <br>
<p>
