Does the scanner work under Windows? This would be the easiest way to<br>
establish whether its the hardware or software that is giving you problems.<br>
<p>
I have an MFS-8000SP running off the NCR scsi card - everything gets<br>
detected okay but I can only scan in Lineart mode. Greyscale and Color<br>
modes just result in solid grey scans :-( Works great in Windows. Any clues<br>
out there, or should I go out and buy a new scanner?<br>
<p>
Actually the NCR card isn't too hard to get working - once you apply the<br>
patch (I found a patch on dejanews, but I assume its the same one mentioned<br>
on the sane site) you just need to make sure that the port address in the<br>
driver matches the address on the card's dip switches. I suggest compiling<br>
it as a module so you can fiddle with things and recompile/reload it<br>
without having to restart your system. It does, however, lock up your<br>
computer pretty bad while the scan is in progress (this doesn't occur in<br>
Windows). I've got another SCSI card but not the right cable to go to the<br>
scanner unfortunatly.<br>
<p>
