<p>
Johan&gt; The scanner has a 26 pin connector (looks like a VGA<br>
Johan&gt; connector, but a bit wider) which fits the supplied card, but<br>
Johan&gt; it can't be plugged into the paralell port. The card is very<br>
Johan&gt; small, and only takes up half the ISA slot (8 bit card?). I'm<br>
Johan&gt; almost 100% sure it's not a scsi card, because it's not<br>
Johan&gt; detected on bootup (I've included scsi support in kernel) and<br>
Johan&gt; I found a usenet posting that said that it wasn't a scsi card<br>
Johan&gt; but some proprietary design. So i guess I can forget about<br>
Johan&gt; using this scanner with Linux ,or...?<br>
<p>
Well, apparently you don't take my word for it, so I suggest to get<br>
sane-0.67 and do:<br>
<p>
$ ls sane-0.67/sanei<br>
<p>
You'll find a file called sanei_ab306.c. If you look in the header of<br>
that file, it says:<br>
<p>
This file implements the Mustek-proprietary SCSI-over-parallel-port<br>
interface. */<br>
<p>
I gave the caveats and pointers to how to setup a parallel-port<br>
scanner in a previous mail, so I won't repeat them here.<br>
<p>

<p>
PS: How come you buy a scanner without knowing what interface it has?<br>
Isn't that mentioned somewhere on the box and/or user's manual?<br>
