Here I have :

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
Vendor: MUSTEK Model: MFS-12000SP Rev: 1.00
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 01

I know this card and it normally works well.

My scanner works o.k. with this card, though there seem to be several
versions of it around.

If you want to continue trying with the SC-200, make sure you read the
comments in the mustek.README :

- ncr810: Be sure to configure the kernel such that:
o tagged command queueing is DISABLED
o do not allow targets to disconnect is ENABLED

Ooops - this seems different from my info ... they probably have changed
the firmware ... at least Vendor=SCANNER seems VERY strange to me ;-)

Hmm ... this looks like a SCSI protocol error ... maybe changing the firmware
is your only option, if everything else fails ...

TNX...
