<i>&gt; Hi Joakim,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; [...]</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; it now strikes me that the problem might be that the scanner needs</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; termination,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; but it's unclear how to do this, because the scanner has one db25</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; port</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; and one centronics</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; port. any snapscan users who now if it needs termination?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; It's different. My Snapscan needs an active termination on Adaptec</i><br>
<i>&gt; 2940, but on my Adaptec 1560 no active and no passive termination can</i><br>
<i>&gt; help, only another scanner with termination inside will get them</i><br>
<i>&gt; running.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I think, you should test active terminators.</i><br>
<p>
aargh! what are active terminators? do you mean supplying term power in <br>
the terminator somehow? aargh.<br>
<p>
doesn't active termination refer to the scsi hosts ability to find out<br>
if it<br>
should terminate the bus or not, depending on if there is an external<br>
chain as well?<br>
<p>
