  Hi all,

  A little update on my continuing troubles getting Sane + Umax 600s + Adaptec
  2906 to work. I tried, as Oliver suggested, running scanimage in lineart
  mode. I'll attach the debug output at the end of the email. It still isn't
  working. I didn't get a change to try greyscale yet but I'll post the
  results when I do.

  I guess I'd like to repeat my earlier question regarding the admittedly
  cheap Adeptec I'm trying to use: Does anyone have a recommended card for use
  with a Umax 600s. That is, has anyone had any luck with this model scanner
  with a (hopefully) inexpensive SCSI card?

  thanks,
  ::mark

  Much longer movement of scanner here; sounds like it moved the scan head the

  ...but lights are now flashing rapidly as before...

  The process table reports the following in response to 'ps -ef | grep
  scanimage':

  root 1230 1211 0 21:49 pts/2 00:00:00 scanimage -d

  But I had to do a kill -9 to actually get rid of 1230. Another to get rid of
  1231.
