Ooh, that means you really are most of the way there. I'm fairly<br>
certain that the problem is that the scanner is confused by the<br>
set window command -- that often causes scanners to return all<br>
zeros for data. Of course, getting the rest of the way there<br>
can be a long journey. I don't know what you have done so far,<br>
but I'd try reducing the size of the window descriptor block,<br>
probably to just the minimum defined by section 14 of the scsi<br>
2 standard. That gives less potential for conflict between<br>
elements in the wdb, and a better chance of a good scan. If<br>
that works, you can fill the wdb back in once you hear from Nikon<br>
what their vendor-specific extensions to the wdb look like.<br>
<p>

<i>&gt;phone calls. </i><br>
<p>
Sounds good! Best of luck,<br>
