There's a problem _somewhere_ with using a New Media Corp "Bus Toaster"<br>
(old version) PCMCIA SCSI card with a UMAX Astra 1200s flatbed scanner.<br>
<p>
/proc/scsi/scsi shows the scanner properly; however "scanimage" shows<br>
the scanner as a "MAX M ", no model number, no version number.<br>
<p>
This is reported under kernel 2.0.30, and 2.0.33, with card services<br>
2.9.9, 2.9.11-4, 2.9.12, and 3.0.0; SANE was version 0.71 and 0.72 .<br>
<p>
My guess is that it's a problem with the specifics of the Bus Toaster<br>
as it tries to talk to the UMAX. The same Bus Toaster and same<br>
cables have no problem talking to a PCMCIA CDROM, a JAZ disk, or a Zip <br>
drive. The same UMAX scanner has no problem being talked to by <br>
an Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460B PCMCIA card, or by a genuine Adaptec <br>
AHA-1520 in a deskside machine. <br>
<p>
My current solution is to not use the Bus Toaster; I tried a debug<br>
session but didn't get too far; the scanner doesn't ID correctly and<br>
it's all downhill from there (only gets 51 then 49 bytes back on the<br>
reply strings. I read the code but just using the 1460B is a lot<br>
more appetizing right now.)<br>
<p>
Anyway, I'm not sure what you need to act on, but just so you know...<br>
it might be worth caveating in the documentation if nothing else.<br>
<p>
-Thanks!<br>
