<EM>&gt; a) How would I be able to tell if the scanner is really broken? I do
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; not run Windows at all, and my Macintosh is pre-Power-PC, so the software
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; it came with won't help me.
</EM><BR>
<P>I don`t think that it is a problem of the scanner. It is a known problem caused by
<BR>
termination, cable or scsi-driver problems.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; b) Could this be something like active termination vs. passive
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; termination on the SCSI bus? The scanner is obviously using passive
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; termination.
</EM><BR>
<P>The scanner does not do any termination. You mean the termination that came with
<BR>
the scanner? That is a passive one. If you work with a fast scsi card that should be ok,
<BR>
for an ultra scsi card you should use an active one.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; c) Do I need to terminate the &quot;internal&quot; 50-pin connector on the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SCSI card if I don't have a hard disk or CD-ROM drive on it? How would I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; do that?
</EM><BR>
<P>YES, YOU NEED TO!
<BR>
<P>Normally there are jumpers or resistor arrays on the scsi card or the termination
<BR>
can be activated via the bios. Some cards automatically activate the termination
<BR>
but you really have to make sure it is terminated!!!
<BR>
<P><P><EM>&gt; Any other ideas to get this working?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; d) and on another note - there's no power button on this thing, and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the scanning bulb stays lit _all_ the time. Is that normal?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<P>The driver is responsible to turn out the light for the astra 2200, but I don`t have
<BR>
the command sequence for that.
<BR>
<P>In the moment: pull the power connector to turn off the scanner.
<BR>
<P><P>It also may be a problem of the scsi driver of your scsi cards.
<BR>
Lots of 1.x.x kernels had buggy scsi drivers. The 2.2.x kernel should be ok
<BR>
for the most scsi cards, so the 2.3.x also should be ok. But when the scsi card is a
<BR>
new product the driver may also be new and buggy.
<BR>
<P>Bye
