I see similar problems here. It doesn't seem to depend on the mode (actually
I cannot reproduce exact conditions under which it fails), but from time to
time my MFS 12000 SP will hang and the SCSI system will be taken down with
it. If you reboot the system without powering off the scanner in the meantime,
the system will hang again when the SCSI driver gets loaded.

I suspect the problems to be more frequent, if I give "strange" dimensions
(i.e. calculated ones with digits after the period). Maybe the scanner and
the PC do not agree on the same page-dimensions (byte-wise) and thus get
stuck when the PC tries to read too much or to few bytes. Would this be
possible ?

CU,ANdy
