I think it is quite clear this backtracking has not been caused by the SCSI<br>
controller. Three types of controllers have been tested by me and other entrants<br>
in this mailing list:<br>
1. the supplied NCR53c400a ISA controller w/o IRQ<br>
2. the suggested NCR53c810 PCI controller, with IRQ and bus-mastering DMA<br>
3. an Adaptec AVA-1505 ISA controller, with IRQ, but without DMA<br>
<p>
All SCSI controllers work with SANE and the mustek backend to control a Mustek<br>
scanner, but still there is this issue of backtracking and hence, slow scanning<br>
compared to Windows and TWAIN.<br>
<p>
Now I think SANE and backtracking has two probable causes:<br>
1. The driver (i.e. mustek backend) sends a strange command which confuses the<br>
scanner.<br>
2. The driver deliberately uses backtracking, to ensure image quality<br>
(no dropped lines etc.)<br>
<p>
I still hope to find the answer somewhere, as I can't figure out where it is<br>
being done in the mustek backend, nor can I find some configurable option to<br>
disable backtracking. Unchecking the "Force backtracking" box in xscanimage has<br>
only effect in grayscale and lineart scans.<br>
<p>
Cheers,<br>
