Edmund&gt; Hello, hereby I'd like to let you know that a MFS-1200SP<br>
Edmund&gt; with firmware 1.07 (a single pass scanner) works fine with<br>
Edmund&gt; SANE. No colour problems.<br>
<p>
Thanks for the info! I updated the man page.<br>
<p>
Edmund&gt; What I'd like to see in the sane-scsi man page is:<br>
<p>
Edmund&gt; echo "scsi add-single-device &lt;host&gt; &lt;ch&gt; &lt;id&gt; &lt;lun&gt;" &gt;<br>
Edmund&gt; /proc/scsi/scsi<br>
<p>
Edmund&gt; and its counterpart 'remove-single-device'.<br>
<p>
Good point. I added something to this effect to the man-page. Of<br>
course, an even better solution would be to automate this process.<br>
It's not completely trivial due to the dynamic mapping that Linux does<br>
between device name and SCSI device id, but I think it's doable.<br>
Anyone interested in taking a stab at this?<br>
<p>
On a related topic: if you track kernel-development, you'll notice<br>
that linux 2.1.92 has support for determining the kernel's SG_BIG_BUFF<br>
value by reading /proc/sys/kernel/sg-big-buff. I added code to SANE<br>
to make use of this info when it exists. What's missing in the kernel<br>
is the ability to resize the big buffer on demand. For example, it<br>
would be nice if it were possible to do:<br>
<p>
echo 1048576 &gt;/proc/sys/kernel/sg-big-buff<br>
<p>
and the big buffer from then on would be 1MB. I know some of you have<br>
played with huge SCSI buffers. Anyone interested in folding this<br>
feature into the official kernel sources? I think it would be a very<br>
cool feature that would make using SANE a lot easier.<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
<p>
