Hello,
<BR>
<P>It's been some time ago since this thread was alive.
<BR>
Today my microtek2 scanner is working again.
<BR>
According to the manpage sane-scsi i had set &quot;Negotiation&quot; to &quot;Async&quot;
<BR>
in the BusLogic scsi card bios.
<BR>
Also i set &quot;Disconnect&quot; to &quot;off&quot;.
<BR>
For me it seemed that setting the &quot;Disconnect&quot; to &quot;on&quot; was the right
<BR>
way.
<BR>
<P>It scans fine now.
<BR>
Still i do get problems.
<BR>
Sometimes after 3 scans, or some random number (the last session was
<BR>
about 20 scans) it just hangs where it did hang before.
<BR>
After that, i can't get it working again, and i need a reboot. This
<BR>
same thing happened under windows, so it might be hardware related (?)
<BR>
The light of the scanner flashes then, and if i wait for a timeout my
<BR>
kernel (linux 2.4.4) just crashes after 1 or 2 minutes (didn't count).
<BR>
If I (before that crash) turn off/on the scanner, it doesn't help.
<BR>
(tried 3 times)
<BR>
Also, rmmodding the BusLogic module seems ok, but insmodding it again
<BR>
crashes my kernel instantly.
<BR>
<P>So I'm wondering if there is any way to really reset a scanner, just
<BR>
like a reboot does.
<BR>
I'm at a loss with this problem. If anyone has some ideas, i would
<BR>
like it.
<BR>
<P>Greetings,
<BR>
Marcel Pol

<EM>&gt; &gt; I'm using a Microtek scanner with Sane, but for some time now it's

not
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; working.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; The change happened when I attached the (working) scanner to
</EM><BR>
another
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; computer. There it didn't work, and when I put it back it still
</EM><BR>
doesn't
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; work.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; The kernel recognizes it (cdrecord -scanbus).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 1,6,0 106) ' ' 'Scanner 600A4 ' '2.21' Scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; When I turn on debugging for the Microtek2 backend it spits out
</EM><BR>
the right
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; messages.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; After that, the scanner just hangs.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Well, it sounds like it tries to scan, while it seems in desperate
</EM><BR>
need
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; of a few drops of oil.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; When I Ctrl-C sane, and check the scanner with cdrecord -scanbus,
</EM><BR>
I get
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; this back:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 1,6,0 106) '' '' '' NON CCS Disk
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; When I turn it off and on, I get the original kernel message, but
</EM><BR>
further
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; there's no change.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Some time ago, with maybe a 2.4.0 linux kernel (now 2.4.3) it quit
</EM><BR>
after
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; some time, while saying &quot;device busy&quot;.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; If I turned of the scanner while it was hanging I did get the same
</EM><BR>
error.
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I'm using a Microtek2 scanner with a BusLogic BT930 scsi card.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I'm using Sane 1.0.4 with linux 2.4.3
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I installed Windows, and it functions there without a problem.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I suspect the backend of Sane, or the BusLogic driver.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I heard some people about data corruption on a BusLogic scsi card,
</EM><BR>
but I
<BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; wouldn't know if that relates to my problem.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Debug Messages:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; export SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=128
</EM><BR>

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; .....

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; And here it hangs.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
