Roger&gt; I'm writing sane-support for the Tamarack SCSI scanner. I had<br>
Roger&gt; the same problem: my NCR810 driver would report an "NCR DEAD"<br>
Roger&gt; when I tried to scan a slightly non-trivial amount of data.<br>
<p>
Roger&gt; Initially I increased the timeout to one minute. However<br>
Roger&gt; nowadays, my driver simply reduces the scan-size to at most<br>
Roger&gt; an inch at a time. The Tamarack takes less than 10 seconds<br>
Roger&gt; to scan an inch, so there is no problem. This way I can run a<br>
Roger&gt; standard kernel. (well almost).<br>
<p>
Roger&gt; Mustec maintainers: This might also be applicable for the<br>
Roger&gt; mustec backend....<br>
<p>
Hmmh, I don't think I would want to _force_ this behavior, since it<br>
would slow down scanning by quite a bit. However, maybe we could put<br>
an option into mustek.conf that lets you limit the maximum distance<br>
scanned in one chunk. Then we can distribute SANE with a mustek.conf<br>
that is safe for owners of an unpatched Linux ncr810 driver. This<br>
leaves the option of getting back the old behavior when it's known to<br>
be safe.<br>
