i have a mustek mfs6000cx scanner that i would like to get to work under
sane. sane documentation shows the mfs6000cx as being supported but i
cannot even get the scanner recognized by my adaptec 1520 card at boot.
i tried to get the supplied ncr58c400a card to work but decided it
wasn't worth the effort. mustek claims the mfs6000cx is a proprietary
twain driven device and were actually quite nasty when they found i was
running linux. i scanned the list archive but didn't see any articles
relating to my problem but since you say this scanner will work can
somebody point me in the right direction? the scaner is on during boot
and i have tried a db25 connection with passive term. on the centronics
50 and also the other way around, i have left the mac connector alone.
i have a scsi hard drive hooked to this card internally and have
connected an old fujitsu scanner to the external port. i had no trouble
getting either device recognized at boot. some letters mentioned using
a ui? to get around the twain problem. any and all assistance will be
appreciated. i am also aware of the limitations of this scanner not
being rev 2 compliant but it was free and i need a scanner

thanks
dave
