Instead of waiting for you to contact me, I'll contact you (and CC: the<br>
list incase anyone else is interested).<br>
<p>
I'm the one that started the Ultima/Artec backend although I only have the<br>
lowly AT3 myself. I have documentation for the AT3, AT12, and A6000C+ on<br>
my webpage. Can you go to my page and get the latest source and try that?<br>
There have been a few bug-fixes and additions since SANE 0.74 came out,<br>
most of them having to do with things that affected models other than the<br>
AT3 which I have (hey, you can't blame me for getting mine working<br>
first). :-)<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Thanks to a brilliant suggestion from Bernd to lookup the FCC ID</i><br>
<i>&gt; I can now confirm that my Blackwidow scanner is actually an</i><br>
<i>&gt; Ultima/Artec.</i><br>
<p>
This is good...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I am about to try that driver out connected to nasty 5340 card.</i><br>
<p>
Haven't tried mine, I put the scanner on an old Adaptec 1542CF card when I<br>
got it. Is this the card included with the scanner?<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Hmmmm. Bypassing the check at line 800.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Also frigging get_cap_data to take a model name I give</i><br>
<i>&gt; it in an environment variable. There are three AT6, AT12 and A6000C</i><br>
<i>&gt; mentioned in the file.</i><br>
<p>
What about my AT3? :-)<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Trying model AT6. 100dpi colour.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Eeeek - unexpected error on unit Schneider - The bloody thing works !</i><br>
<p>
&lt;SNIP stuff about it working partly/mostly configured as an AT6&gt;<br>
<p>
It would have to be the one (SCSI) model that I don't have any documentation<br>
for.... :-) It sounds like it is working pretty good for you though. The<br>
AT6 settings were sort of just guessed at since I have docs for both the AT3<br>
and AT12. I don't know what others think, but it might be a good idea to<br>
add code to read an option from the configuration file that would specify<br>
what model was at a certain device... ie. something like this in artec.conf.<br>
<p>
# artec.conf file<br>
/dev/scanner<br>
model 4800SP<br>
<p>
Where the '4800SP' was whatever model you wanted to force. That would<br>
probably be better than an environment variable. If the model is specified<br>
in the artec.conf file, that would also take care of the get_cap_data<br>
function, because it looks at the model to determine the capabilities.<br>
What does the output of "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" look like for this<br>
scanner? It it identified at all?<br>
<p>
