<EM>&gt; Yes and no. As Oliver wrote in his response to your mail, the USB/SCSI
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; converter or driver (or however it is called) limits the buffer size to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 32 kB, because it does not support scatter/gather. We can live with this
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; limit, but since the Microtek backend uses sanei_scsi_open, users must
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; either set SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE, or if they install Sane from the sources,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; they must use the configure option --enable-scsibuffersize in order to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; get a &quot;SCSI via USB&quot; scanner running.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; What I tried to point out is, that this inconvenience of a &quot;special
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SCSI/USB configuration&quot; (what a big word for an environment variable...)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; can be avoided, if a backend uses sanei_scsi_open_extended instead of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; sanei_scsi_open. Using the latter function, a backend can easily adapt
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to any available buffer size. This way, things would be a little bit
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; easier for a Linux newbie to get his/her SCSI-over-USB scanner working.
</EM><BR>
<P>Sorry, I too got the wrong idea. I forgot about this limit (as it had
<BR>
nothing to do with my trivial reasons for making the hack). I agree
<BR>
completely. However, the microtek2 maintainer has disappeared, so
<BR>
someone else has to make the change. Is it acceptable for Oliver or I
<BR>
to submit a patch that would support the microtek2 USB scanners
<BR>
cleanly? (I.e. would it be commited to CVS?)
