<i>&gt; &gt; It is normal that the vendor string for Microtek scanners consists</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; of eight spaces. However, normally the model is specified more</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; exact, for instance 'Scanner 636A4'. If it is a model which should be</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; supported by the microtek2 backend, it won't work at all until this</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; model is known to the backend. Thus it would be interesting what</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; '[something]' is.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Yeah, I think I understood that getting _some_ more support through sg</i><br>
<i>&gt; would be important.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I used the 2.2.13 sg.c, so now I'm compiling a kernel with the 2.3.25 sg.c</i><br>
<i>&gt; copied into the tree. Maybe it works better.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Another thing, the scsi-adapter-driver (aha152x.o), what should I alias it</i><br>
<i>&gt; to in /etc/conf.modules? Off topic, but I need to find out...</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Should sg.o be aliased to something?</i><br>
<p>
I am using the following two lines:<br>
<p>
post-install sg modprobe aha152x<br>
options aha152x aha152x=0x140,10,7,1,1<br>
<p>
This will automatically load the needed modules, when the scanner<br>
is used for the first time.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; The backend does some checks on the inquiry information, and refuses</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; to work if it finds information, that it doesn't expect. For instance</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the models it supports are all SCSI-2 devices, and therefore</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; it checks for an ANSI SCSI revision of 02.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Ummm...I think I only have scsi1 or something...hope that's not a</i><br>
<i>&gt; problem. I don't know myself why it says 04.</i><br>
<i>&gt; /proc/scsi/aha152x/0 says $Revision: 1.7 $, if it is relevant...</i><br>
<p>
This is the revision of the driver source code, not the SCSI revision.<br>
