Well, I hope you don't feel misled. I'm sure many people on this list
would be happy to share their experience with various scanners (and I,
for one, would recommend a Mustek scanner only with certain caveats,
but it happens to be what I have, so I try to make the best use of
it). Mind you, buying the most mentioned scanner is not unlike buying
the most-mentioned OS, by which logic you would not be running
Linux, so I'm not sure that is a good criteria. ;-)
I think everybody agrees that a scanner FAQ/Howto would be a Great
Thing (tm). There certainly is need for one and I'd be more than
happy to host it on the SANE home page, if desired/necessary. I think
I suggested this once before but, unfortunately, nobody has stepped
forward yet (as far as I know, at least). It wouldn't take very much:
send some inquiries about people's experiences with different brands
etc and then summarize it a bit.
Marc> What is the reason for these timeouts and where in the

That's the mid-level SCSI code---it works fine. The problem is most
likely in the driver itself.
I don't know about the AVA-1505 adapter. Is there really such a
thing? If it's an AHA-1505: I think Mathias Weigt has his scanner
connected using the same kind of adapter. Mathias, do you have any
patches that fixes the problems? If you send patches, I'll make sure
to add something to the sane-mustek(5) man-page regarding this
problem.
