Marc&gt; Hello David, three weeks ago I decided to buy a Paragon 600 II<br>
Marc&gt; CD, because Mustek is the most mentioned scanner-vendor in the<br>
Marc&gt; Linux-community, I think. I read most of the<br>
Marc&gt; sane-devel-mailing-list. So I experienced that the scsi card<br>
Marc&gt; that came with the scanner is &gt;a worthless piece of junk&lt;.<br>
<p>
Well, I hope you don't feel misled. I'm sure many people on this list<br>
would be happy to share their experience with various scanners (and I,<br>
for one, would recommend a Mustek scanner only with certain caveats,<br>
but it happens to be what I have, so I try to make the best use of<br>
it). Mind you, buying the most mentioned scanner is not unlike buying<br>
the most-mentioned OS, by which logic you would not be running<br>
Linux, so I'm not sure that is a good criteria. ;-)<br>
<p>
I think everybody agrees that a scanner FAQ/Howto would be a Great<br>
Thing (tm). There certainly is need for one and I'd be more than<br>
happy to host it on the SANE home page, if desired/necessary. I think<br>
I suggested this once before but, unfortunately, nobody has stepped<br>
forward yet (as far as I know, at least). It wouldn't take very much:<br>
send some inquiries about people's experiences with different brands<br>
etc and then summarize it a bit.<br>
<p>
Marc&gt; What is the reason for these timeouts and where in the<br>
Marc&gt; source-code can I fix that? I tried in drivers/scsi/scsi.c<br>
<p>
That's the mid-level SCSI code---it works fine. The problem is most<br>
likely in the driver itself.<br>
<p>
I don't know about the AVA-1505 adapter. Is there really such a<br>
thing? If it's an AHA-1505: I think Mathias Weigt has his scanner<br>
connected using the same kind of adapter. Mathias, do you have any<br>
patches that fixes the problems? If you send patches, I'll make sure<br>
to add something to the sane-mustek(5) man-page regarding this<br>
problem.<br>
