Hi Henning & all,
..first of all thanks to this list for making the list's archive really
on oasis of information on SANE. Without having thought of scanning until
last week, I got my SP 12000 Plus (birthday present) up and running within
an hour.
That is, after mastering the SCSI-trouble that results from Mustek's
stupid idea of terminating the SCSI bus behind a narrow-SCSI connection,
resulting in the upper bits of the (wide) internal bus not being
terminated at all. I'll skip the details but can't avoid stating that
instead of calling Mustek tech suppopt in Germany, you can just as well
ask the guy at your local Burger King's drive-through window. The Symbios
Logic guy in Munich (actual engineer on the phone, no callcenter!) saved
my day.

Yep, worked without modifying mustec.desc

Right. Works fine for the "SP Plus" and should maintain compatibility to
the SP.

At least with 2.2.5 it is.
But what bothers me more than the "low" (still quite nice) speed of the
actual scan is that the Mustek seems to do some initialization first, with
the cart moving back and forth for some seconds. Anybody got a clue
whether this is really necessary and if not, how to avoid that?
Kind regards,
--Andreas
