It is an Across 3s scanner. This scanner is not on the list, but it
seems to be
a generic company so I'm hoping maybe it is compatible with one on the
list. I
have put in an email to the company hoping that they may tell me what
kind of card
I've got, but don't know if they will as most people just have companies
tell them
they don't support linux.
I just read something on the specifications that doesn't sound good.
The driver that
came with it is called "SmartScan" it says it was built specifically for
this scanner
and SCSI card. It has a second driver called "Art-Scan" and says that
one has to be
used if you install the scanner on an existing Adaptec SCSI card. Does
that mean mine
wouldn't be Adaptec compatible? If this small company made their own
card, I might
never find a driver for it. Although maybe this is good, if the
"Art-scan" works on my
SCSI card as well as Adaptecs, may they are compatible?
Well, this is all the info the specification sheet gives me. I hope it
is helpful.
