<EM>&gt; &gt; I know. I pulled them both, the SC200 has a 53C810A chip and the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; brandless one has a 53C810AE chip. Unlike the Asus, the last one
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; does not have a jumper to terminate the bus - I hope it does auto-
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; termination. But whatever it does, it works for the Mustek.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; *My* brand-less 810 SCSI controller card, which according to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0 is a:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Chip NCR53C810, device id 0x1, revision id 0x2
</EM><BR>
<P>Well, over here /proc claims the same thing. But I meant to say I looked at the
<BR>
ICs themselves, and they are labeled as described. BTW, Symbios doesn't
<BR>
mention an 810AE on it's site but 825AE does exist, see
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.lsilogic.com/techlib/techdocs/storage_stand_prod/index.html">http://www.lsilogic.com/techlib/techdocs/storage_stand_prod/index.html</A>
<BR>
(From LSI:) compared to the 825A, the 825AE differs little, it has certain
<BR>
Microsoft PC 97 enhancements for power management support.
<BR>
I assume the same goes for the 810A and 810AE.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; My (Relisys) Scanner has fixed passive
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; termination behind it's nonstandard 25 pin SCSI socket.
</EM><BR>
<P>Despite it's willingness to resume it's normal duties, I opened up the scanner
<BR>
casing. Could not find a hint of termination in mij Mustek ScanExpress
<BR>
12000SE, but that's me being blind to electronics. I'd like to remove the PCB
<BR>
to scan it, but... :-D
<BR>
Let me state again that an active terminator on my Mustek wreaks havoc on
<BR>
scanned images - which contradicts the Mustek backend homepage, but I
<BR>
speak for my scanner only.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; does *not* do any sort of auto termination (I don't believe that any
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; 810 *does*, but don't quote me).
</EM><BR>
<P>I think I read somewhere that certain ICs exist which implement active
<BR>
termination. These chips can be used by manufacturers in SCSI devices.
<BR>
Maybe there are auto-terminating chips too?
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; May I recommend the &quot;SCSI FAQ&quot; and the no longer maintained
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &quot;Linux SCSI HOWTO&quot; as two valuable sources of information
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; about SCSI in practice.
</EM><BR>
<P>Very recommendable sources of information, but they say little on how [fill in
<BR>
your favorite scanner-brand here] implemented SCSI. I for one have never
<BR>
been able to attach my Mustek to a SCSI chain with more than just a SCSI
<BR>
adapter. And I have tried a few adapters and devices.
<BR>
YMMV of course.
<BR>
<P>cheers
