<i>&gt; Got a Highscreen HighScan yesterday and after some struggling I got it</i><br>

<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Perhaps this information is usefull for some people ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I first tried to get the scanner running with the microtek backend as the </i><br>
<i>&gt; manpage said it supports it. But even fooling the backend concerning the</i><br>
<i>&gt; reported model-code, it won't run.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; So I tried to use the microtek2 backend and after makeing it accepting the</i><br>
<i>&gt; modelcode "0x92", which is reported by the scanner, it worked.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I am using the Adaptec AVA1502AE SCSI-Adapter that came with the unit. At</i><br>
<i>&gt; first, I disabled "SCSI-DISCONNECTION" as it is said in the</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner-manual. But using this setting, it took quite a while until the</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner actually started scanning, and lot's of interrupts were produced</i><br>
<i>&gt; on the aha152x-driver. After enabling SCSI-Disconnection on the Adapter,</i><br>
<i>&gt; everything worked fine.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I guess, the HighScan is nowadays a Microtek 330. </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; If some further information is needed to integrate support for this</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner into the backend, please let me know.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; But there's one thing I don't understand:</i><br>
<i>&gt; Although using a separate SCSI-Adapter for the Scanner, it locks the whole</i><br>
<i>&gt; system while the scan is in progress. </i><br>
<i>&gt; I can't even move the mouse while doing a scan.</i><br>
<i>&gt; What's the reason for this???</i><br>
<p>
Bad hardware and software. The Adaptec 1502 is a dump card which relies<br>
heavily on the CPU. And as ISA busses are not that smart you are<br>
experiencing a massive drain of resources during your scan as the card<br>
locks up large parts of the system.<br>
