Servus !<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; Hello David, three weeks ago I decided to buy a Paragon 600 II</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; CD, because Mustek is the most mentioned scanner-vendor in the</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; Linux-community, I think. I read most of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; sane-devel-mailing-list. So I experienced that the scsi card</i><br>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; that came with the scanner is &gt;a worthless piece of junk&lt;.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Well, I hope you don't feel misled. I'm sure many people on this list</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; would be happy to share their experience with various scanners (and I,</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; for one, would recommend a Mustek scanner only with certain caveats,</i><br>
<i>&gt; but it happens to be what I have, so I try to make the best use of</i><br>
<i>&gt; it). Mind you, buying the most mentioned scanner is not unlike buying</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; the most-mentioned OS, by which logic you would not be running</i><br>
<i>&gt; Linux, so I'm not sure that is a good criteria. ;-)</i><br>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; What is the reason for these timeouts and where in the</i><br>
<i>&gt; Marc&gt; source-code can I fix that? I tried in drivers/scsi/scsi.c</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; That's the mid-level SCSI code---it works fine. The problem is most</i><br>
<i>&gt; likely in the driver itself.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I don't know about the AVA-1505 adapter. Is there really such a</i><br>
<i>&gt; thing? If it's an AHA-1505: I think Mathias Weigt has his scanner</i><br>
<i>&gt; connected using the same kind of adapter. Mathias, do you have any</i><br>
<i>&gt; patches that fixes the problems? If you send patches, I'll make sure</i><br>
<i>&gt; to add something to the sane-mustek(5) man-page regarding this</i><br>
<i>&gt; problem.</i><br>
<p>
Seemed you stepped into your first problem with Mustek scanners<br>
:-(.Nobody knows how they will behave in certain situations. I think<br>
e.g. HP<br>
isn`t mentioned such much because there aren`t much problems with it.<br>
<p>
Ok, I`m afraid I can`t help with driver fixes - I don`t have timeout<br>
problems<br>
with this adapter (and my MFS-06000CX) at all. Yes, the AVA-1505 is just<br>
<p>
another AHA-1505 (1515 without BIOS). I bought this adapter because I<br>
couldn`t<br>
get the scanner working together with my system disk on the same adapter<br>
(NCR 810)<br>
- the system froze nearly every time I scanned under X11. I chose the<br>
AVA-1505<br>
because I heard of good experiences with it in a windoze (scanner)<br>
newsgroup (don`t<br>
know anymore).<br>
Your adapter setup seems to be ok. The only thing you have to be aware<br>
of is that<br>
"reconnect" must be disabled otherwise the scanner isn`t found.<br>
The problem may lie in the scanner itself. Try to remove the terminator<br>
from the scanner (It shouldn`t make a difference but nobody knows...) On<br>
the Cebit this year<br>
I talked to a Mustek-person who told me to connect my ZIP-drive after<br>
the scanner<br>
and terminate this (but for me there is no difference). Try to connect<br>
another device<br>
to your adapter (alone and with the scanner) so that you can be sure<br>
your adapter<br>
is working.<br>
<p>
I don`t know parameters for the dos-driver. The scanner works with win95<br>
and<br>
Mustek`s TWAIN - driver (not as good as SANE). The miniport-driver is<br>
available<br>
at <a href="http://www.adaptec.com">http://www.adaptec.com</a>. You must boot win95 with the scanner turned<br>
on. The<br>
adapter and the scanner are found and you have to disable disconnect in<br>
"Ger<65>temanager-&gt; Scanner-&gt;Einstellungen" (don`t know the English terms<br>
exactly).<br>
Now you can install the twain driver with the adaptec option.<br>
