Hello Jeremy,<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I am new to sane and need some advice. I am</i><br>
<i>&gt; planning to buy UMAX 1200s and was wondering what</i><br>
<i>&gt; experience any of you might have had with this</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner running under sane. I also have a 2940u</i><br>
<i>&gt; Adaptec SCSI card, which has 2 internal HD's and a</i><br>
<i>&gt; zip drive hooked up to it.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; My main question is, is it possible to run my 2</i><br>
<i>&gt; Linux HD's and a zip off of the same host adapter</i><br>
<i>&gt; without my computer crashing or freezing. I was</i><br>
<i>&gt; reading some doc at the sane web site that said you</i><br>
<i>&gt; might want to use a second SCSI host adapter, which</i><br>
<i>&gt; for me is impossible as I am all out of PCI slots</i><br>
<i>&gt; (and cash for that matter ;-). </i><br>
<p>
The umax-scanners don't really freeze the SCSI-bus for the<br>
whole scan, but there are some "froozen moments" on the bus.<br>
With my UMAX S12 scanner I get 1 or 2 seconds where the<br>
scsi-bus is blocked. But that should be no problem for you,<br>
I think.<br>
<p>
Normally you don't have problems with a "crashed" scsi-bus,<br>
as long as the scan is finshed right. You should not<br>
turn off the scanner while linux is running and the scanner<br>
is listed as a scsi-device (but you may delete it from list<br>
and then turn it off).<br>
If the scanner hangs while a scan you may crash the bus,<br>
but that only happens, if you try to do something the scanner<br>
or the driver does not know to work with, e.g. Quality Calibration!<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
Oliver<br>
