Im assuming that you are speaking of some config program from RH but I run
debian do I doubt I would have it. So is there anyway you could tell me how to
do it by hand Im assuming echo add-single-device 0 0 2 0 > /proc/scsi/scsi
but Im not sure if thats right or if its even the right command string.
BTW the lun switch is set to 3 on the back of my scanner. not sure if that
makes a difference.
thanks so much for the help your giving.
