I just tried some large file copies while scanning. Other than the thrashing
from the long periods where the scanner was precluding smooth swapping, everything
seemed to work fine.
Of course, all the disks are IDE, and there is only the scanner on the SCSI.
There seems to be no damage to the system at this time. The copies did
seem to allow xtop to recover from the scan and go back to reporting 99%
idle even while the xscanimage was still resident.
I used to get system crashes whenever I tried ANY interrupt while scanning, which
is why I worked up to 2.2.10... so I think that is definitely worth trying.
BTW, does anyone know the difference between 1520A and 1520B?
Thanx,
From Al Anderson
