<P>
<EM>&gt; &gt; If you have one host adaptor which does scatter/gather and
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; a second host adaptor which does no scatter/gather,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; the first will result in a buffer of 128K and the second a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; buffer of 32K.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I didn't see this point. But then again: If sanei_scsi_max_request_size
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; is not constant, things might be messed up -- not necessarily for the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Microtek2 backend, but perhaps for the backend of a second scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; conncted to the same machine.
</EM><BR>
<P>You can certainly argue that reliable failure is to be prefered.
<BR>
I'll try making the kernel driver do scatter/gather.
<BR>
