Hello,<br>
<p>
I'm just wondering if you could answer a couple of questions here.<br>
<p>
Some months ago I got hold of an old scanner called Microtek Scanmaker<br>
35t, which I want to get up and running in Linux as well as Windows 98.<br>
I'm aware of the fact that only the scanmaker 35t+ is officially<br>
supported by SANE, but I tried it anyway.<br>
<p>
The scanner is detected like this duric startup (including scsi):<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x140, IRQ=9, SCSI ID=7,<br>
reconnect=enabled, parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, dela<br>
y=0, extended translation=disabled<br>
aha152x: trying software interrupt, ok.<br>
scsi0 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 1.18 $<br>
scsi : 1 host.<br>
Vendor: MICROTEK Model: PTS1800S SCANNER Rev: 1.04<br>
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 00<br>
scsi : detected total.<br>
<p>
<p>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<p>
Here is what happens when I try to run scanimage:<br>
<p>
scanimage -dmicrotek &gt; test.pnm<br>
Error message:<br>
scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O<br>
<p>
The slide in the scanner moves down to the bottom of the scanner, but<br>
doesn't come up again, although the "READY" light is green.<br>
<p>
I do the same once more, and it (the slide) moves up and then down<br>
again. READY is not green (nor blinking). It hangs there, without giving<br>
any status message.<br>
<p>
If i control-c the process, it says "scanimage: stopping scanner..." and<br>
then hangs.<br>
<p>
I have to kill -9 the process, switch the scanner off and then on again,<br>
and then reboot just to do the same failing attempt to scan.<br>
<p>
My question is: is it possible to make this scanner work with sane, and<br>
if not: will it be supported at some stage?<br>
<p>
I'd be glad to contribute and make a driver myself, but unfortunately I<br>
haven't got that much programming experience and/or low level hardware<br>
experience yet.<br>
<p>
Any suggestions/answers appreciated :)<br>
<p>
Best regards,<br>
<p>
Lars Erik Kolden<br>
