I have been using SANE (1.0.1) to run a MUSTEK MFS-6000CX<br>
from a Linux system with an Adaptek 1520B/1522B.<br>
<p>
xscanimage has worked nominally on kernels 2.0.33,<br>
2.0.36,(W/WO bigger buffers),2.0.37(W/WO bigger buffers),<br>
and 2.2.10.<br>
<p>
There are some disquieting symptoms, however, which I<br>
don't know whether to attribute to SANE, sg, the SCSI card,<br>
or the scanner, and on which perhaps someone can shed some light.<br>
<p>
Symptoms:<br>
<p>
in all configurations, interrupts seem to be disabled, or the system<br>
seems to hang, for inordinate periods (several seconds) during a scan,<br>
especially when the scan is first initiated, but also during each scan<br>
segment.<br>
<p>
At least some configurations of the system can be made to crash <br>
by trying other activity during a scan. I have been reluctant to gather<br>
too many statistics about just what activies cause system crashes however,<br>
but small scans seem typically to complete OK. <br>
<p>
Running xtops during a scan shows cpu usage 99%idle after starting<br>
xscanimage, but before a scan is initiated, at 75% system, 25% user<br>
during the scan, and continuing at 75/25 even after the scan has completed,<br>
only returning to 99% idle when xscanimage is exited.<br>
<p>
<p>
Is this behavior normal for SANE, or this card or scanner, or do I just<br>
have something configured wrong.<br>
<p>
The scanner is the only device on the SCSI bus, which is (at least<br>
nominally) properly terminated, and which has worked fine for DISKS and<br>
CDROMS.<br>
<p>
The aha152x driver for the SCSI card is slightly ersatz on 2.2.10,<br>
however, since that version doesn't recognize the 1520B/1522B, I added<br>
the recognition entry from the 2.0.37 driver to the 2.2.10 driver, which<br>
seems to make it work fine otherwise.<br>
<p>
The card is configured with aha152x=0x340,11,7,1 in LILO, with sg, etc. as <br>
modules. Behavior was similar with aha152x as a module. <br>
<p>
I think this card has FIFO polled data transfer, which if properly implemented<br>
should avoid the symptoms noted above, so I suspect the driver/card interface.<br>
<p>
The configuration file mustek.conf is:<br>
<p>
option strip-height 1<br>
scsi MUSTEK<br>
<p>
/proc/scsi/scsi is:<br>
<p>
Attached devices: <br>
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00<br>
Vendor: MUSTEK Model: MFS-06000CX Rev: 2.20<br>
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: ffffffff<br>
<p>
If anyone has any comments on this, I would appreciate them,<br>
<p>
Thanks in advance<br>
<p>
<p>
