Hi <br>
<p>
I have an ARTEC AT12 scanner which I am hoping to get working with SANE.<br>
The SCSI card I have is the one that came with the scanner. The man page<br>
for artec scanners under SANE says:<br>
<p>
&lt;quote&gt;<br>
SCSI ADAPTER TIPS<br>
Some Artec scanners come with an included SCSI adapter.  At present,<br>
no-one has reported using this SCSI adapter with SANE.  If you can get it<br>
working under your OS, it might work with SANE.<br>
&lt;/quote&gt; <br>
<p>
First question:  has anyone ever got this SCSI card to work under Linux<br>
(I'm using Debian 2.0 if that makes any difference). If so, what did you<br>
do? I have the generic SCSI support module installed in the kernel but<br>
nothing I have tried so far will persuade linux to notice the card. I have<br>
flicked through the SCSI-Programming-HOWTO and tried things like <br>
echo "scsi add-single-device a b c d" &gt; /proc/scsi/scsi but the scanner<br>
remains resolutely non-visible, the generic scsi devices remain resolutely<br>
not connected to it and /proc/scsi/scsi ramains empty of anything which<br>
might suggest that the scanner was available. <br>
<p>
Second question: Does anyone have any details on what sort of SCSI card<br>
ARTEC supply? If I knew that, I could make more sense of the<br>
documentation.<br>
<p>
Third question: Does anyone know for sure that the SCSI card supplied with<br>
ARTEC scanners will never work under Linux? If that is the case, can I get<br>
another card? Any recommendations? (I have no other SCSI devices).  <br>
<p>
Clearly, If I get the card working I'll post here to say what I did.<br>
<p>
<p>
Many thanks in advance,<br>
<p>
