[50] popp@FastFelix $ readproc 'UMAX' 'Astra 1200S'<br>
readproc reads /proc/scsi/scsi<br>
and tries to find out on which device your scanner is connected<br>
looking for vendor = "UMAX", model = "Astra 1200S"<br>
device = 0 : vendor = "QUANTUM ", model = "FIREBALL_TM3200S", revision =<br>
"300N"<br>
device = 1 : vendor = "IBM     ", model = "DPES-31080      ", revision =<br>
"S31Q"<br>
device = 2 : vendor = "TOSHIBA ", model = "CD-ROM XM-5301TA", revision =<br>
"0925"<br>
device = 3 : vendor = "UMAX    ", model = "Astra 1200S     ", revision =<br>
"V2.8"<br>
I guess the devicename is: /dev/sgd<br>
<p>
I also find the programs addumax and delumax very usefull.<br>
these can add or remove the umax scanner form the device list.<br>
In this way you can have your scanner turned off during the initial<br>
bootsequence,<br>
and add it only when you want to use the scanner.<br>
It is important however that the scsi id of the scanner remains the<br>
same,<br>
as it is hardcoded into these programs.<br>
I dont remember who wrote it, maybe it was you :)<br>
Maybe you would be willing to consider to incorporate your readproc<br>
functionality into these programs?<br>
<p>
regards,<br>
Ondrej<br>

<i>&gt; Hi,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; this is a little tool that reads /proc/scsi/scsi</i><br>
<i>&gt; and tries to find out on which device the scanner is connected.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; To compile it, just call</i><br>
<i>&gt; gcc readproc.c -o readproc</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; To use it call</i><br>
<i>&gt; readproc "vendor" "model"</i><br>
<i>&gt; e.g.:</i><br>
<i>&gt; readproc "UMAX " "UMAX S-12"</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Please tell me if the "guessed" devicename is correct or not!</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Bye</i><br>
