John,
Thanks for the tip. I readn the sane-scsi man page thinking it was the SCSI interface was the problem and didn't read the sane-microtek one.
Messing with the "noprecal" did nothing.
The solution was to uncomment the "norealcal" line in microtek.conf.
It worked first time then.
Thanks for all your help
RikD.
