<p>
Excellent!<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Warning: </i><br>
<i>&gt; I experienced system crashes when using the </i><br>
<i>&gt; AM53C974 low level driver for my Tekram 390 SCSI-adapter</i><br>
<i>&gt; when doing the autofocus (which is always on in the </i><br>
<i>&gt; current version). </i><br>
<i>&gt; I had no problems with the tmscsi driver which also supports</i><br>
<i>&gt; my Tekram card.</i><br>
<p>
1. I downloaded an integrated the drivers with my SANE setup. I built<br>
the Coolscan stuff static and FTPed it to the scanner machine, which<br>
is a very minimal Linux install.<br>
<p>
2. I checked find-scanner (looked good so far)<br>
<p>
3. I ran scanimage -L and saw the Coolscan listed (yeah!)<br>
<p>
4. I tried scanimage &gt; example, but it locked up the SCSI on my test<br>
machine, and I had to switch off the Coolscan. The main drives on<br>
that machine are SCSI, so this was very scary. I shutdown &amp; restarted<br>
<p>
/* I have a DPT card, using Linux 2.2.6 EATA card drivers. It wouldn't<br>
let go until I physically switched off the Coolscan :( */<br>
<p>
5. I commented the AutoFocus code out of your driver<br>
<p>
6. I re-built, re-transferred and re-installed<br>
<p>
7. I ran scanimage &gt; example, and this time I got some data!<br>
<p>
I'll write a second mail when I've tinkered with some more values and<br>
taken a look at the code a second time. However, I'm already impressed<br>
that I actually got DATA out of this first alpha driver.<br>
<p>
