Hello, this is my first message to this newsgroup. I'm hoping someone can <br>
provide me with some advice as to which SCSI card I should purchase to <br>
access a scanner under SANE. I have an ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 motherboard and <br>
was thinking of getting the associated ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI card <br>
(NCR52C810 chip I believe). I understand this card is detected and works <br>
fine under Linux (at least from the DejaNews articles I've read), however <br>
I'm uncertain if it's a good choice for SANE or in general (I have no<br>
experience with SCSI devices). I'm interested in getting a UMAX Astra 1200,<br>
however I remember reading in the SANE archive that the UMAX uses a Mac <br>
style connector, whereas, the ASUS card uses a SCSI-2 externel cable. <br>
Would this present a problem in connecting the two (I suspect/hope it <br>
doesn't) ? Is there some way to force this card or any PnP card to a <br>
specific IRQ (I think it's a PnP card and I wouldn't want it to get<br>
assigned to IRQ 9 which holds an 8-bit serial card, COM3, I use for my <br>
Wyse 60 terminal - IRQs 10 or 12 would be fine however) ?<br>
<p>
I would also appreciate any suggestions/recommendations regarding other <br>
SCSI cards. I'm looking for something cheap that won't cause any problems <br>
under Linux or force itself on any IRQs &lt;= 9 (I hate PnP).<br>
<p>
(Please reply to my e-mail address as well as the list)<br>
<p>
Regards,<br>
<p>
Timothy Kallinis<br>
