Hi Folks,

my Mustek 1200SP was shipped with the DTC436 SCSI-interfacecard . After
applying
the patch "mustek-scsi-patch-0.5" the adaptor was recognized (thanks to
the author!)

It turned out that the DTC436 is compatible to the dtc_3181e, at least
the initialization
was successful with the option dtc_3181e=1
The modprobe-output was as follows:

modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1

kernel: scsi2 : at port 0x280 irq 5 options CAN_QUEUE=16 CMD_PER_LUN=2
release=1 generic options AUTOPROBE_IRQ AUTOSENSE PSEUDO
DMA USLEEP, USLEEP_POLL=1 USLEEP_SLEEP=20 generic release=7
kernel: scsi2 : Generic NCR5380/53C400 Driver
kernel: scsi : 2 hosts.
kernel: Vendor: SCANNER Model: Rev: 1.05
kernel: Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision:
01 CCS
kernel: Detected scsi generic sgc at scsi2, channel 0, id 6, lun 0

(hmm. The Gerenic NCR5380/53C400 Driver has to be used for the dtc3181e-

compatible dtc436-Card - a little bit confusing...)

However, my system includes two Hard-Diskdrives connected to an aha2940.

After calling modprobe without options or other options than mentioned
above,
modprobing dies after a while. Unfortunately the hole scsi-Bus hangs and

there is no way to access the harddiskdrives any more. That means one
has to
press the reset button.
So get my warning: If you have a similar configuration, be very careful
while
testing this Driver!

But once the scanner was found scanning works fine and the system is
still
usable while scanning is in progress.

Bye
J.
