Hello!
At first, my version information: sane-1.0.2-58 on SuSE 6.2 / 7.0
I digged through the archive for quite some time now and finally managed it
to get my Mustek Paragon 600 II CD scanner to work with the DTC 3181 E
controller that comes with it. The undocumented "dtc_3181e=1" option for
insmod did the trick. So a big thank you to you.
The only problem I have at the moment is, that the scanner won't scan a color
image in one turn but in many tiny steps, causing in a lot of noise and slow
progress. It scans a short bit, stops, goes back and scans the next bit
repeatedly. Is there a possible solution? Has this to do with the USLEEP
values?
The next question I have has been addressed here before, I'm sure, but I
can't find anything in the archive about this. I have a Symbios Logic
Controller that is equipped with the 53c810 chip. I always read that this
card was a good choice to use for scanning, but I can't get it to work
properly. I can get linux to detect the card, and a CD writer attached to the
internal bus works without a problem. But as soon as I connect the scanner to
the 50 pin external connector with a 50 - 50 SCSI II cable, nothing works
anymore. The termination jumper on the card doesn't help. The scsi driver
recognizes the scanner as "QALLEP" instead of "SCANNER" and it reports a
parity error. Is there anything I can do? Unfortunately I don't have the
money to buy all kinds of cable adapters (the Mustek has both, a 25 Pin and
50 Pin SCSI connecor), so I would be most thankful if anyone could tell me,
which adaptor I have to use to make this work.
Alternatively, a solution to the first problem would be great as well :)
How about a full text search function for the mailing list archive?
