    Hi,

    I have REAL problem getting my scanner to run under Linux Mandrak 7.2. I have loaded the sane 1.0.4 stuff from
    the SANE site (the 1.0.3 package with Mandrake produces the results shown below)

    Everything 'seems' to assemble correctly, but...

    NB The scanner is connected to the first scsi card found 'atp870u' (correctly)
     and I have two cards (the second one drives my SCSI disk and a CD Writer, which works fine - at last)...

    The following is what may help...

    Output from 'cdrecord -scanbus'...

    Now what?. I am told that this scanner (MaxiScan A4) can be driven by the AGFA Snapscan drivers (the remark
    is 'probably a Vuego something or other).

    Everything assembles OK. but when I attempt to get an image from the scanner (using scanimage) I get..
     'Floating point error' and
    every thing (not linux, but the scanner) hangs up, with the 'ready light' winking at me.

    Can anybody help me please????

    Regards
