Hi,
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I bought a cheap $60.00 12000SP scsi scanner about a year ago.
<BR>
Got it working in WinBlows with the proprietary card and it gave
<BR>
acceptable results. They were so acceptable that I almost
<BR>
regretted getting an H-P 6300C!
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I never did get it working on the Linux side until recently.
<BR>
Heard about the proprietary card being junky and really couldn't
<BR>
get linux to work with an AVA-1510 card. I did try an 2940UW card
<BR>
but the other devices wouldn't respond.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;I let the thing sit for 9 months and decided to throw a machine
<BR>
together on Sunday just for fun. I used an old Micronics M6Hi PPro
<BR>
board and decided to just toss in a Buslogic BT-958 card for
<BR>
the scanner and not connect up any other devices. I recompiled
<BR>
the kernel up to 2.4.0-test11 and actually got a PPro 333Mhz
<BR>
cpu to work in the thing. It wasn't recognized in the BIOS as
<BR>
a 333Mhz unit (it said 75Mhz!) but Linux gave the appropriate
<BR>
response to cat /proc/cpuinfo and also said it was 661 BogoMips.
<BR>
It also ran faster.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Sane-1.0.3 compiled up just fine and xscanimage fired right up
<BR>
and RAN RIGHT OFF THE BAT! I thought that was really cool!
<BR>
I scanned some magazine covers (Linux Journals actually)and saved
<BR>
the images to the hard drive. My question is this:
<BR>
<P>When I saved the images in a variety of formats and then open them
<BR>
in XV or GIMP the color is washed out. I have Sane set for color
<BR>
and &quot;Acquire Preview&quot; gives an acceptable image. I haven't messed with
<BR>
the settings. Is there something I need to do to get it to save the
<BR>
color information properly?
<BR>
<P>I also went ahead and built xsane-0.64. I used to have problems
<BR>
in the past but not anymore. It compiled and installed without
<BR>
difficulty. I set up a separate account logged out of root and
<BR>
logged-in to the new account. I got Xsane up and running fine.
<BR>
Again, here I could acquire a preview in full color but when I
<BR>
saved the images the color would be washed out when opening in
<BR>
XV or GIMP
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for the help. I am also using an H-P 6300C with my
<BR>
renovated ALR Quad 6 with four 333Mhz Pentium Pro Overdrive cpu's,
<BR>
three SCA 10,000 rpm drives and a tekram DC390U2W LVD controller.
<BR>
The system really rocks! Image manipulation is a blast and the
<BR>
investment on my part was about $2,300.00. I know that may be
<BR>
a bit much but I like the solidness of the ALR case and dual
<BR>
power supplies. The system with four 166Mhz PPros four years
<BR>
ago was $34,000! The ALR Quad 6's will run with the PPro
<BR>
Overdrive, I know that for a fact. I suspect the 6 X 6 would
<BR>
also work although I don't know anyone who has tried it.
<BR>
I do have eight OD's I could use to try though! :)
<BR>
