Hi Christoph,

it is a bad scsi adaptor, but you may get it to work.

    should it work with linux?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: compiling sane aborts with error "virtual memory exhausted"
       on slackware linux with gcc. What goes wrong?

    A: The optimization set by "-O2" makes problems, try which one of the following
       calls work:

       make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O1"
       make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O"
       make CFLAGS="-g -Wall"

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-parallel-port-scanners?

    A: UMAX published their SCSI-protocol for scanners, but the
       parallel-port-protocol is not published until now. Without
       such informations I will not work on a driver!

       Martin Mevald <martinmv@penguin.cz> is working on a driver!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-USB-scanners?

    A: I don't know if there is a published protocoll for the UMAX-USB-scanners.
       As far as I know there are no generic-USB-drivers on unix-systems in the
       moment. For linux it is worked on a driver.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: I get a black area at the top of the image. What's wrong?

    A: This is a problem with some scsi-drivers.

       For advansys-scsi-cards update to a new kernel which includes at least
       the driver version 3.1E of the advansys-scsi-driver. Take a look at:
       http://www.advansys.com/linux.htm

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: I want to use the scsi-card that comes with my umax scanner.
       What card is it and is it supported by my os?

    A: The cards that come with the umax scanners are very simple cards.
       I suggest not to use this cards.

       If you really want to try:
       the UDS-IS11 is a DTC3181E-card based on the NCR5380-chip.
       On linux you may have the chance to get it work with the recent
       g_NCR5380-driver. The card does not have IRQ/DMA.
       Try the following option for kernel/module:
            dtc3181e=0x280,254
       (Thanks to Colin Brough for that tip)

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: I use linux with a NCR/Symbios logic SCSI-Controller, sane does not work
       right.

    A: There are two differen drivers in the linux Kernel/modules.
       Use the BSD-driver!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You find a lot of tips and informations in the internet. E.g. take a look
    at http://www.scantips.com
