Hi Matt, I have the Microtek E3 scanner on the ava1502e card which is the
stock card that the scanner comes with in the box. The scanner runs fine
under win 3.11. I have been struggling with getting this card to work under
linux, running Slackware 3.3.0, kernel 2.0.33. I have finally succeded in
getting the card recognized with the generic scsi driver and the aha152x
driver loaded as modules at boot time:
Adding Swap: 16556k swap-space (priority -1)
aha152x: BIOS test: passed, auto configuration: ok, detected 2 controller(s)
aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x140, IRQ=10, SCSI ID=7, reconnect=enabled,
parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=100, extended
translation=disabled
aha152x: trying software interrupt, ok.
aha152x1: vital data: PORTBASE=0x340, IRQ=12, SCSI ID=7, reconnect=enabled,
parity=disabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=100, extended
translation=disabled
aha152x: trying software interrupt, ok.
scsi1 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 1.18 $
scsi2 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 1.18 $
scsi : 3 hosts.
Vendor: Model: Scanner Rev: 1.40
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 04
Detected scsi generic sge at scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
ncr53c810-0-<2,0>: SLOW SCSI 4.0 MB/s (250 ns, offset 8)
Max size:326563 Log zone size:2048
First datazone:36 Root inode number 73728
The second card is my Sound blaster card which has a scsi controller on it
that I do not use but I am unable to disable the scsi chip so it is
recognized.
The real problem is the following:
find-scanner: checking /dev/sga...
find-scanner: found disk "QUANTUM MAVERICK 540S 0901" at device /dev/sga
find-scanner: checking /dev/sgb...
find-scanner: found disk "QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM2110S 300X" at device /dev/sgb
find-scanner: checking /dev/sgc...
find-scanner: found CD-drive "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3501TA 2694" at device
/dev/sgc
find-scanner: checking /dev/sgd...
find-scanner: found disk "QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM2110S 300X" at device /dev/sgd
find-scanner: checking /dev/sge...
find-scanner: found disk " " at device /dev/sge.
I can not get sane to see the scanner as other than a hard drive. The
other scsi devices are on the ncr controller. There is a symbolic link from
scanner to /dev/sge.
Any pointers would be appreciated. I have been struggling with this for
several weeks and reading over the various howtos.
Cheers,
Peter Hall
