<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; On the card it is written: AB306N I/F CARD REV. A</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; On one of the chips there is the following text: GA 160 AH</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; The ab306 is the parallel port interface for the 600 II N.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; Interesting ... Why the heck are they supplying a parallel port</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; with their scanner ? Are they afraid you might not have one ? Or</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;&gt; does the scanner hog the port and you can't print anymore ?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; The scanner has a 26 pin connector (looks like a VGA</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; connector, but a bit wider) which fits the supplied card, but</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; it can't be plugged into the paralell port. The card is very</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; small, and only takes up half the ISA slot (8 bit card?). I'm</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; almost 100% sure it's not a scsi card, because it's not</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; detected on bootup (I've included scsi support in kernel) and</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; I found a usenet posting that said that it wasn't a scsi card</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; but some proprietary design. So i guess I can forget about</i><br>
<i>&gt; Johan&gt; using this scanner with Linux ,or...?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Well, apparently you don't take my word for it, so I suggest to get</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane-0.67 and do:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; $ ls sane-0.67/sanei</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; You'll find a file called sanei_ab306.c. If you look in the header of</i><br>
<i>&gt; that file, it says:</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; This file implements the Mustek-proprietary SCSI-over-parallel-port</i><br>
<i>&gt; interface. */</i><br>
<p>
As I said it *does not* connect to the computer with a parallell port <br>
connector, it connects with an *ISA card*...<br>
