&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe someone on the list can help me identify my problem...
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a UMAX Astra 2200 scanner that I would like to use with SANE
<BR>
under Intel Linux using the SCSI interface. My first attempt at this was from
<BR>
a 486DX4/100, 20MB RAM, laptop running RedHat 3.0 upgraded to a 1.3.100 kernel
<BR>
with a built-in Adaptec AHA-1510 SCSI-2 adaptor, using the aha52x.o driver
<BR>
and the the scanner at /dev/sga. Using scanimage from sane 1.0.1 and the UMAX
<BR>
backend (because of space limitations, I never tried to install xsane or the
<BR>
gimp stuff,) every scan that I made was off by a bit. I would get 1.5&quot; to 2&quot;
<BR>
of garbage at the top of the scan, and the scan would end about 1.5&quot; to 2&quot;
<BR>
from the bottom of the 8.5&quot; x 11&quot; page.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have since acquired a Pentium 166 tower workstation with 32MB RAN,
<BR>
and installed RedHat 6.1 on it, upgraded to a 2.3.46 kernel. I acquired an
<BR>
Ultrastor 14F SCSI-2 EISA card, installed it, and am using the 14f_34f.o
<BR>
driver, with the #defines correctly set for this particular card's firmware
<BR>
version. The scanner is once again /dev/sga. I installed sane 1.0.1, with
<BR>
the sane-umax-1.0.1-build-18.tar.gz patch applied, and xsane 0.57. I am
<BR>
seeing the _exact_ same behavior using both scanimage and xsane. Except, in
<BR>
xsane's &quot;preview&quot; grabbing, the garbage accounts for over 2/3 of the length of
<BR>
the scan. During an actual scan, I can watch the scanner head, and it doesn't
<BR>
start moving until more a second or two after the &quot;Acquiring RGB data&quot; (or
<BR>
whatever it is, exactly) progress bar starts filling up with green. The
<BR>
portion of the glass that does get scanned is being scanned accurately, though:
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(<A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/temp/temp5.jpg">http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/temp/temp5.jpg</A>) (~200K)
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In both cases, the scanner was the only device on the SCSI chain.
<BR>
I actually have two SCSI-2 (high density 50 pin) to SCSI-1 (DB-25) cables,
<BR>
and have tried both. I am terminating the chain at the scanner end using
<BR>
the external terminator (DB-25 connector) that came with the scanner.
<BR>
I have tried plugging the cable into both of the DB-25 connectors on the
<BR>
scanner. Nothing is connected to the scanner's USB port or to the SCSI-2
<BR>
card's internal 50-pin connector.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) How would I be able to tell if the scanner is really broken? I do
<BR>
not run Windows at all, and my Macintosh is pre-Power-PC, so the software
<BR>
it came with won't help me.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Could this be something like active termination vs. passive
<BR>
termination on the SCSI bus? The scanner is obviously using passive
<BR>
termination.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Do I need to terminate the &quot;internal&quot; 50-pin connector on the
<BR>
SCSI card if I don't have a hard disk or CD-ROM drive on it? How would I
<BR>
do that?
<BR>
<P><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any other ideas to get this working?
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) and on another note - there's no power button on this thing, and
<BR>
the scanning bulb stays lit _all_ the time. Is that normal?
<BR>
<P><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks in advance for any help!
<BR>
