Aha! I just noticed this note on the list:<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; It seems that there is a bug in either the Sane SCSI driver or Linux</i><br>
<i>&gt; AdvanSys SCSI driver. I got a mail form Peter Daum indicating that is</i><br>
<i>&gt; Astra 1200S worked fine with a NCR 810 SCSI card, so I did some</i><br>
<i>&gt; digging in</i><br>
<i>&gt; my pockets and found a old 810 card. Now every thing is working fine!!</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Yours Olof S Kylander</i><br>
<br>
I have an Advansys SCSI card, and it has worked fine with both the Microtek<br>
E6 and my Travan tape drive under Windows 3.1, but I have had problems with<br>
both devices under Linux (with large files written to tape, or large scans,<br>
there are some garbled bytes. This was true both before and after I changed<br>
the default 32768 bytes buffer size in the generic SCSI device). It looks<br>
very much like the Advansys SCSI driver for Linux is bad. This is<br>
unfortunate since Advansys actually lists "Linux" as a supported OS on<br>
their retail boxes. Hmph! Back to the store, I guess.<br>
