Hello,<br>
<p>
I have a few questions that pertain directly to 1220S users and that<br>
don't<br>
necessarily pertain to SANE (or to Unix, for that matter) directly. I'm<br>
hoping<br>
it won't offend anyone. Also, I'm currently not subscribed to the list<br>
but<br>
since I'd like to have a few answers to go on when I get home tonight,<br>
I'm<br>
sending my questions immediately. I hope you can help me.<br>
<p>
- I got an Adaptec AVA-1502 card from a friend to replace the one<br>
supplied by<br>
UMAX, until I can afford a newer one. The card came with another<br>
scanner<br>
(Mustek?) and allows only an external device to be attached to it.<br>
When I<br>
plug my scanner on it, the green light flashes constantly. On Win95,<br>
using<br>
the scanning software provided by UMAX, I can't get a picture scanned<br>
properly. I get slanted lines of blue and green and red but nothing<br>
that<br>
even remotely looks like it's trying to scan the photograph on my<br>
scanner.<br>
Could that be attributed to the SCSI card I'm using? Has anyone<br>
managed to<br>
at least get theirs to work on Win95 with a card other that the<br>
UMAX-provided one?<br>
<p>
- I figured maybe Win95 is the one to blame (usually is). I recompiled<br>
my<br>
kernel (2.0.32 I think) with Adaptec 152x support included (not as a<br>
module). I also included generic SCSI support in my configuration.<br>
When I<br>
rebooted, I checked the messages and I get something like scsi: 0<br>
hosts<br>
found. I haven't found a SCSI HOWTO so I'm not really sure what that<br>
message<br>
means. I'm planning on swapping my SCSI cards to try the UMAX-provided<br>
card<br>
and at least making sure that it works on Win95. BTW, I still get that<br>
flashing light when rebooting on Linux. On the UMAX site, it says that<br>
it<br>
may be something wrong with the cable or something. But their software<br>
sees<br>
the scanner and when I tell it to scan, the light moves. The data<br>
returned<br>
to my machine is gibberish though.<br>
<p>
- I compiled and installed the latest version of SANE and it only<br>
reports that<br>
it can find the pnm devices. I haven't yet bee thru all the docs but<br>
should<br>
-L automatically find the device? Does it poll the scsi card?<br>
<p>
- Why is there no on/off switch on this unit? Sheesh!<br>
<p>
- I still have an option (for a few days) to swap my unit for a 1200S<br>
instead.<br>
Would you recommend that?<br>
<p>
- Has anyone undertaken the task of writing a driver for the UMAX SCSI<br>
card?<br>
If I can make that work, it might be more interesting than buying<br>
another<br>
card, at least until I get more SCSI devices.<br>
<p>
That's it for now. I thank you in advance for your replies. Please note<br>
that<br>
it is preferable to reply to <a href="mailto:lduperval@sprint.ca">lduperval@sprint.ca</a> (which is what my<br>
Reply-To<br>
field is set to so if you've got a good mail agent, you don't have to<br>
worry<br>
about it).<br>
