<EM>&gt;&gt;&gt;Unfortunately, the aic7xxx_old driver is no longer supported, so I hope the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;&gt;&gt;aic7xxx driver is fixed soon. I'll email the author.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;&gt;&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;&gt;I thought the author was Adaptec, sort of. Wasn't that the reason
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;&gt;to phase out the old driver?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; In the course of trying to solve the problem, I did a bit of reading around...
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; this message was the one that gave me an idea on how to fix it.

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The maintainer of the adaptec scsi driver is Justin Gibbs, who actually started
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; writing the drivers for BSD, then handed the project over to Doug Ledford.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Justin was recently employed by Adaptec to take the drivers back and re-write
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; them. So it seems that Adaptec wants to support these drivers.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;

<EM>&gt; <A HREF="http://opensource.adaptec.com">http://opensource.adaptec.com</A>
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I emailed Justin about the problems but so far I haven't heard back. I should
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; probably mail to the linux kernel mailing list.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;

<EM>&gt; Ben.

<P><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been having great problems with the new aic drivers in the 2.4.x
<BR>
kernel and my scanner. This particular scanner is a Polariod SprintScan
<BR>
35+ which sane does not support. I use vuescan with it (and sane for my
<BR>
HP IIIc).
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In contacting the aic mailing list, they insist that the problems I have
<BR>
are related to my software. The author of the software took debugging
<BR>
logs of the old driver, and the new driver, and gave me a report of the
<BR>
differences. When I presented this to the aic mailing list, they didn't
<BR>
give it any attention.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So my point is this: the old driver works (I can still boot 2.2.18 and
<BR>
use my scaner), but the new driver seems to have some real problems.
