Do you use the atp870u driver for the Acard adapter?
This driver has a few lines which look very suspicious to me:
oktosend:
memcpy(&ata_cdbu[h][0], &workrequ->cmnd[0], workrequ->cmd_len);
if (ata_cdbu[h][0] == 0x25) {
if (workrequ->request_bufflen > 8) {
workrequ->request_bufflen = 0x08;
}
}
if (ata_cdbu[h][0] == 0x12) {
if (workrequ->request_bufflen > 0x24) {
workrequ->request_bufflen = 0x24;
ata_cdbu[h][4] = 0x24;
}
}
(copied from atp870u.c, line507ff, lk 2.2.13)
I am far away from understanding the driver, but I suspect that the "if
(ata_cdbu[h][0] == 0x12)" clips the data size for the INQUIRY command to
0x24 bytes. A number of scanners, including Umax, return more data for
this command. And the data clipped off by the atp870u driver might be
essential for the Umax backend. (Oliver, correct me, if I'm wrong)
