Hi,
I'm experiencing a (very) strange behavior with my Mustek 1200SP (rev 1.06)
and sane 0.73 (under linux 2.1.117). I'm not sure if it is a software or a
hardware bug.

First, everything was ok (cool, isn't it ;)

Two days ago, I began a scan, and the head went too far away (though it
NEVER EVER did that before, and I did NOT CHANGE ANYTHING to my
box...). The mustek began to make frightening noise and I swtiched it off
immediately.

Since that day, the scanning-head does NOT RETURN to the HOME POSITION
after a scan (but everything else is ok) and I must switch the mustek off
and on.

So, it looks like a hardware bug since I did not change any software, but
I'm not sure there is a 'specialized' hardware in the scanner that only
controls the 'home return' of the head. I sent a mail to mustek-support
(europe) but they do not seem to answer it, so I'm a bit lost...

If anyone has an idea...
Anthony
