<i> &gt;From: Glenn &lt;<a href="mailto:glenn@meaning.com">glenn@meaning.com</a>&gt;</i><br>

<i> &gt;</i><br>
...<br>
<i> &gt; I haven't gotten around to configuring the E3, but I've</i><br>
<i> &gt;been using the Microtek 35t+ slide scanner with xscanner (&amp;GIMP).</i><br>
<i> &gt;There are still bugs in the driver (like the exposure control</i><br>
<i> &gt;doesn't work.) I'm planning on trying ViviData's scanshop for</i><br>
<p>
If you notice any bugs which are not documented in the manpage or<br>
webpage, please tell me about them! And, if you'd like to help<br>
with exterminating the bugs, even better. I've never even seen<br>
a 35t+ slide scanner, so it's hard to optimize code for it (esp.<br>
given the, uh, 'sporadic' quality of the Microtek documentation).<br>
<p>
...<br>
<i> &gt; Getting back to the installation, once I figured out</i><br>
<i> &gt;how to get the 1502 card to work (I can dig up the URL with</i><br>
<i> &gt;the instructions if anyone is interested. Thanks to ??? on</i><br>
<i> &gt;the SANE-DEVEL list for passing that on to me.), I edited</i><br>
<p>
The URL is <a href="http://www.mir.com/mtek/ava-hints.html">http://www.mir.com/mtek/ava-hints.html</a> (and the ??? is me :).<br>
<p>
<i> &gt;/etc/sane/microtek.conf, adding "scsi Microtek" and the 35t+</i><br>
<i> &gt;showed up the next time I opened xscanimage. (For some reason,</i><br>
<i> &gt;the E3 doesn't identify itself as a microtek scanner when it's</i><br>
<i> &gt;probed, just "scanner".)</i><br>
<p>
The recommended microtek.conf entry is "scsi * * Scanner" --- <br>
Microtek's firmware is pretty inconsistent and unreliable as far<br>
as standard ID strings go; the backend is capable of carefully<br>
looking at every scsi scanner device to figure out if it's a<br>
supported scanner or not.<br>
