Well,<br>
after all the hype, my SANE presentation at my local area Linux users<br>
group is over. Unfortunately, it did not go as planned.<br>
<p>
First, my harddrive started spinning up and down. So while I proceded<br>
to talk about SANE, my assistant opened the system and found a loose<br>
floppy cable???. That problem went away.<br>
<p>
Then after the system came up, xscanimage locked everytime it tried to<br>
access the scanner. Normally, there are more devices on the scanners<br>
aha1540cf SCSI chain, but tonight it was flying solo. It's a mustek<br>
600 IICD connected via a centronics&lt;-&gt;25pin cable, and an active <br>
terminator attached to the sun-style mini SCSI connector. In fact, it's<br>
a sun terminator (with the littel light in the back).<br>
<p>
Once I removed the terminator, everything worked great. Too bad the meeting<br>
was over 5 minutes later. *sigh*<br>
<p>
Does anyone have any insight to my hardware failures? This configuration<br>
works great at home. Once my system was reassembled at home, everything<br>
worked fine....<br>
<p>
We did compile SANE on a laptop and proceded to demo from it using the<br>
scanner (again without a terminator). That worked out pretty well while<br>
we finished doctoring my system.<br>
<p>
