Hi Oliver and everybody else!<br>
<p>
Sorry for answering that late, but I only could check this by now:<br>

<i>&gt;&gt; Mmmm... another problem with just looking at /proc/scsi/scsi is that</i><br>
<i>&gt;&gt;  not all scanners provide useful vendor/model strings.  </i><br>
<i>&gt; For that I will add something like:</i><br>
<i>&gt; scsi-card, bus, id, lun:</i><br>
<i>&gt; eg: 0,0,5,0 </i><br>
<p>
Be aware that the scsi-card # above is not a constant, when the scsi driver is<br>
loaded as a module.<br>
That is, I have an AHA-2940UW for my disks that is scsi-card 0 and an AHA-1542CF<br>
for the scanner that is scsi-card 1 when I first load the module, scsi-card 2<br>
when I load the module for the second time...<br>
<p>
I'm using this script to initialize the scanner:<br>
-- 8&lt; --<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
insmod aha1542<br>
echo "scsi add-single-device `ls /proc/scsi/aha1542` 0 6 0" &gt; /proc/scsi/scsi<br>
-- &gt;8 --<br>
<p>
This is not a general solution however, because there could be more than one<br>
card of one type and the ls would return two files and confuse everything.<br>
<p>
Ciao, Michael<br>
