<P>
I realize that this may not be the appropriate place to ask the
<BR>
following question, but I don't know where to turn now that technical
<BR>
support from McMillan (Mandrake 7.1) blew me off. I simply want to get
<BR>
my system configured so that I can use my HP 5P scanner on my linux
<BR>
computer. I need simple directions to get the SCSI card work and to
<BR>
configure SANE to run my scanner. If there is a better forum for me,
<BR>
please advise. Below is an edited version of the question I posed to
<BR>
McMillan.
<BR>
<P><P>summary=Getting SCSI card to run HP 5P scanner
<BR>
problem=When I installed Mandrake 7.1 I was able to indicate that the
<BR>
computer had an Adaptec AHA 2940 UU W bios SCSI card. I had hoped to
<BR>
attach my HP 5P scanner to this card. When I went to run xscanimage or
<BR>
scanimage, I get the message that no scanner is attached. I then went
<BR>
to the program (HardDrake ??) that identifies hardware on your computer.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;My Adaptec AIC-7881U card shows, the AHA 2940UUW does not. The later
<BR>
is the card with the 50 pin adaptor that is consistent with the scanner.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;I notice when I boot the computer ( a Compaq) that the computer sees
<BR>
the AHA 2940 but does not turn on or install the bios on the card. My
<BR>
wife is on my case to get the scanner running. I believe I have 2
<BR>
options, but am not sure how to proceed.
<BR>
1. Possibly I need to get the bios on the AHA 2940 to turn on when the
<BR>
computer boots. But I am not sure how to do it.
<BR>
2. I could possibly purchase an internal to external cable for the
<BR>
AIC-7881U and mount the external 50 pin adapter in the opening for an
<BR>
expansion card.
<BR>
<P>Please advise as to what would be the route most likely to get the
<BR>
scanner recognized so that I can use it to scan some material and the
<BR>
steps I need to follow to get the system up and running. Thanks.
<BR>
<P>Below is some other info on the computer I am running:
