Eric&gt; First, it wasn't a matter of the scanner blocking the scsi bus<br>
Eric&gt; -- it had an entire scsi bus to itself on an Adaptec 1522<br>
Eric&gt; (which turned out to be the problem) Second, I'm using the<br>
Eric&gt; "pt" driver, although i suspect the "uk" driver would work too<br>
Eric&gt; now that I've moved the scanner to an Adaptec 2940W.<br>
Eric&gt; Everything works more or less fine now, except the scanner<br>
Eric&gt; still needs to be the _only_ device on the bus. If I put a<br>
Eric&gt; disk on the same bus as the scanner, (with a different SCSI<br>
Eric&gt; id# obviously) accesses to the disk time out and stuff. It<br>
Eric&gt; seems like it may be a termination issue, which I'll fiddle<br>
Eric&gt; around with some more. But anyway, it will not work at all<br>
Eric&gt; using an AHA1522, with either a Umax or an HP4c scanner.<br>
<p>
The timeouts are "normal". Cheap scanners don't disconnect while a<br>
scan is in progress, hence they'll hog the SCSI bus for a long time.<br>
That's why for cheap scanners you basically have to figure in the $50<br>
for an extra (decent) SCSI controller...<br>
<p>
Oliver, will you take care of adding the Astra 1200S to the umax<br>
backend (and updating sane-umax.man)?<br>
