<EM>&gt; Hi Robert,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I have tried getting my Umax Astra600S--which, I think, is a close variant
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; of the 1220S--working with an Adaptec 2906 for a month or so (on and off)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; without any success despite a fair bit of help from the list. The last bit
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; of advice that I was given, but haven't been able to try yet, was to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; actually use the ISA SCSI card that came with the scanner. Apparently there
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; are some people who got it to work. Alas no names were given. It took me a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; while to even identify the card since Umax didn't provide *any* information
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; about it. It's a DTC 3181E, I think, though my notes are at home right now.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I found this via Google:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/1999-06/0174.html">http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/1999-06/0174.html</A>
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I've installed the card on my system (running Mandrake 7.1) but haven't been
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; able to find any practical information as to how to setup the address
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; parameters that need to be passed to the driver. Many HOWTOs talk about the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; need to set them &quot;appropriate to your system&quot; but I haven't found any docs
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that explain how to go about determining this. Since SANE still seems to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; require a lot of tweaking it might be useful for the list at large for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; someone who knows how to do this to offer a mini HOWTO on this topic.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Also: It seems odd to me that the Umax docs for the Astra say to install the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; AIC7800 drivers under Windows for the ISA card they ship with the scanner,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that the Adaptec 2906 card uses the aic78xxx driver under Linux, but that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the driver recommended for the ISA card under Linux is the g_NCR5380.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I hope we can get this figured out.

<P>Hi Mark, et.al.
<BR>
<P>Much of my frustration has been relieved. My new
<BR>
scanner/Adaptec-card/SANE/X Scanimage work beautifully. In root. Which
<BR>
files do I chmod or chown to permit myself as user to access my
<BR>
scanner?
<BR>
<P>This is just the sort of problem that bites a Win95 refugee in the ass.
<BR>
All my other graphics applications work as advertised. That is to say
<BR>
if I point and click K-&gt; Graphics-&gt; Cameleo, DVI Viewer, Fax Viewer,
<BR>
Fractals Generator, Gimp, Icon Editor, Image Viewer, KIllustrator,
<BR>
Paint, PS Viewer, SnapShot, TGif, Xfig, or xv, these applications boot
<BR>
up and I can use them.
<BR>
<P>Not X Scanimage. It works only if I log in as root and pointy/clicky.
<BR>
It does not work if I su to root and use the command xscanimage in a
<BR>
terminal.
<BR>
<P>I think I am close to an answer, but like Tantalus, the grapes are
<BR>
always just out of reach, and the water just below my lips.
<BR>
Unsatisfying.
<BR>
