Hi Bernd, and thanks to all who helped with the Microtek-provided<br>
SCSI card.<br>
<p>
1) the aic7xxx driver works for the "AVA-2902E/I" card that I got<br>
with my microtek X6-EL... so that's good. no driver hacking<br>
needed, to my relief.<br>
<p>
2) I can see the scanner, and Bernd, for your collection, here's<br>
the exact make/model/rev:<br>
<p>
Scanner attributes from device structure<br>
========================================<br>
<p>
Scanner ID...<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
Vendor Name: ' '<br>
Model Name: 'scanner 636EL '<br>
Revision: '1.30'<br>
Model Code: 0x98 (ScanMaker X6EL)<br>
Device Type Code: 0x06 (Scanner),<br>
Scanner type: Flatbed scanner<br>
Supported options: Automatic document feeder: Yes<br>
Transparency media adapter: Yes<br>
Auto paper detecting: No<br>
Advanced picture system: No<br>
Stripes: No<br>
Slides: No<br>
Scan button: Yes<br>
<p>
... I am using SANE pre-1.04, built with no hacks, patches, or<br>
other interference. the only module in the dll conf file is<br>
microtek2. I can get scanimage to control the scanner (hooray!)<br>
but ... my previews are very green. <br>
<p>
My first 100dpi scan was kind of green also, but not as green as <br>
the preview. The second one (a photo with lots of blue in it) <br>
looks OK, although the aspect ratio seems slightly altered... <br>
<p>
A sepia-toned picture came out aggressively red/green-ish. Scanning<br>
picture of the bright blue rudder of a boat on shorings it seems to <br>
reproduce the blue area ok, but the gray asphalt in the background <br>
is red and green (?)<br>
<p>
In the preview window, blue is consistently replaced by red<br>
and everything else is quite green. I don't seem to be seeing<br>
differences from one scan to another. Ignoring the green <br>
preview for the moment, in real scans it looks like where there<br>
is gray or other neutral tones, the blue component gets<br>
dropped or diminished, but where there is really obviously<br>
blue content, it is scanned as blue...<br>
<p>
Is it now time to try the latest microtek2 backend?<br>
<p>
de<br>
<p>
PS three cheers for the SANE crew and the contributor of xscanimage!<br>
after resolving my little SCSI card difficult, everything else was<br>
"Now Easy" -- congratulations, this is not a simple software package<br>
to have integrated so well.<br>
