  Hi all,

  I'm helping a friend set up his Linux box for his new
  Acer scanner.

  Without checking the hardware compatibility list, he bought
  an Acer Prisa 310s, which we hope to run with the snapscan
  backend. (This after spending weeks getting his HP winprinter
  to print...) He has a stock RedHat 6.0 installation, with no
  other SCSI devices on the system.

  In Windows, the SCSI card is identified as a DTC 3181. I
  found some information about this card on the web, but no
  Linux documentation. I've also read the dtc README in the
  kernel sources.

  I've looked back through the archives of this list looking
  for information, and I've read all the documentation that
  came with SANE. (The package is from a falsehope rpm).
  Here's the most basic question: what modules do we need
  to load for this card?

  Logically, I'd think that sg.o and dtc.o would have to be
  loaded, but with sg.o loaded, /proc/scsi/scsi says
  no attached devices. Doing modprobe dtc (after doing
  modprobe sg) fails with an init message "device or
  resource busy."

  I've also seen mention of a program or shell script
  called find-scanner. Is this program included in the
  source download? It's not part of the rpm. (I'm not
  averse to downloading the source to get it, but my
  friend likes rpms.)

  Thanks in advance,

  Stoney
