I throttled my 550 MHz computer back to a 333 MHz to match my other machine and
isolated the scanner on the SCSI buss. I ensured both the scanner and the SCSI
interface were the only terminated devices on the buss. I also scanned with
two different cables. Still no improvement.
Any suggestions on where I can go from here? I think I've ruled out a hardware
problem.
