    Abel,
    I forwarded the this post onto Juergen Fischer. Unfortunately
    I'm probably getting a bit confused between the aha152x
    [which is mainatined by Juergen] and the aha1542 [Eric
    Youngdale?].

    Anyway, which kernel version are you testing? Where does that
    "--enable-scsibuffersize=32768" go (is it backend specific)?

    I have a aha1542b, a UMAX 1220S and sane 1.0.2 installed.
