  Hi All,

  I have looked through most of the archives of this list looking for any
  info in this scanner, but with no luck. So I will plead your help with
  the following problem.....

  I aquired a MicroTek 600ZS 3-pass flatbed scanner. I have connected it to
  a DC390 which is running my SCSI Harddrive.
  After much shouting, screaming and bashing of close by mammals, I managed
  to get the DC390 to see the scanner.
  After this I downloaded and installed SANE 1.0.3
  all seems well if I am scanning in only one colour. ie gray. (the 600GS
  was the grayscale only scanner)
  when I got all the collective parts stable (strangly enough the scanner
  will *NOT* crash my Linux Box if the terminator is *NOT* connected)

  If I scan in colour I can see the filter move, and the scan head will make
  the first pass ok. But that then is it.. if I am unlucky, the SCSI bus
  will lock... other wise the scanner will freeze attemping , I asume, the
  2nd pass.

  I believe I have tryed most things mentiond in the archives, including
  checking for a 3-pass bug that is now corrected in this release.

  I am at a loss.. can anyone shed some light on this please...

  Thank you in advance

  Paul Budden
