  Hi,

  I have a UMAX Astra 610S scanner, and the SCSI card that shipped with the
  scanner (a UDS-IS11/ISA card). However, I'm not really sure what to do to
  get the scanner up and running! I read that the g_NCR5380 module may work
  with my card, so I do:

  insmod scsi_mod
  insmod sg
  insmod g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1

  after wich I get the response:
  scsi0 : interrupts not enabled. for better interactive performance,
  scsi0 : please jumper the board for a free IRQ.
  scsi0 : at port 0x280 interrupts disabled options CAN_QUEUE=16
  CMD_PER_LUN=2 release=1 generic options AUTOPROBE_IRQ AUTOSENSE generic
  release=7
  scsi0 : Generic NCR5380/53C400 Driver
  scsi : 1 host.

  Now, I don't know where to go from here. "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" prints
  "Attached devices: none", while "cat /proc/scsi/g_NCR5380/0" prints
  SCSI host number 0 : Generic NCR5380/NCR53C400 Scsi Driver
  Generic NCR5380 driver version 1
  NCR5380 core version 7
  NO NCR53C400 driver extensions
  Using port mapping at port 0x280, no interrupt
  Phase UNKNOWN
  No currently connected command
  issue_queue
  disconnected_queue

  "scanimage -L" does not find my scanner, neither does "find-scanner". I
  do _not_ have the devices sg0, sg1, ..., sga, ... etc. present in my /dev
  directory. I tried to do "mknod sg0 c 21 0", setting permissions to 660
  and re-running "find-scanner -v", but I get

  find-scanner: searching for scanners:
  find-scanner: checking /dev/scanner... failed to open
  find-scanner: checking /dev/sg0... failed to open
  find-scanner: checking /dev/sg1... failed to open
  ...and so on

  I don't know what to do.. Can anyone please give me some hints? An
  important fact is that I am actually not 100% sure if the card (or the
  scanner) is working!

  Cheers,
  Per Jönsson
