Hi Henning &amp; all,
<BR>
<P>..first of all thanks to this list for making the list's archive really
<BR>
on oasis of information on SANE. Without having thought of scanning until
<BR>
last week, I got my SP 12000 Plus (birthday present) up and running within
<BR>
an hour.
<BR>
<P>That is, after mastering the SCSI-trouble that results from Mustek's
<BR>
stupid idea of terminating the SCSI bus behind a narrow-SCSI connection,
<BR>
resulting in the upper bits of the (wide) internal bus not being
<BR>
terminated at all. I'll skip the details but can't avoid stating that
<BR>
instead of calling Mustek tech suppopt in Germany, you can just as well
<BR>
ask the guy at your local Burger King's drive-through window. The Symbios
<BR>
Logic guy in Munich (actual engineer on the phone, no callcenter!) saved
<BR>
my day.
<BR>
<P>Back OT:
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I think the mustek.desc is just for documentation.
</EM><BR>
<P>Yep, worked without modifying mustec.desc
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I think something like
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; else if ((strncmp(model_name, &quot;XC06&quot;, 4) == 0) ||
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (strncmp(model_name, &quot; C06&quot;, 4) == 0))
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; could be included in the code.
</EM><BR>
<P>Right. Works fine for the &quot;SP Plus&quot; and should maintain compatibility to
<BR>
the SP.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt;&gt; Now the scanner works fine. Next step will be to try to change sg.c to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;&gt; increase buffer size.
</EM><BR>
<P><EM>&gt;Is this still necesary with newer Linux kernels?
</EM><BR>
<P>At least with 2.2.5 it is.
<BR>
<P>But what bothers me more than the &quot;low&quot; (still quite nice) speed of the
<BR>
actual scan is that the Mustek seems to do some initialization first, with
<BR>
the cart moving back and forth for some seconds. Anybody got a clue
<BR>
whether this is really necessary and if not, how to avoid that?
<BR>
<P>Kind regards,
<BR>
--Andreas
