Hi Bob,
although I´m not a programmer like some others here, I want to give you a statement
about my experiences.
Im using a AGFA snapscan 1236(s) with the encluded scsi-Adapter (AVA1505).
After a hard time with installing it (mostly my faults, better should habe
read the manualpages) I´m very happy with it now. The scans look really good
and there were only a few hangs of the device while scanning.
All problems could be solved by reinitialising the scsi-Adapter (reload the
module by shell-script). I tried xsane and xscanimage and both are o.k. In my
opinion the coloured preview in xsane is better than the grey one in
xscanimage. I want to use both as a plug-in in gimp and hope this will be
possible with xsane too.
I hope this information will help you.
Dirk
