Until I get time to work on reverse engineering that Artec Ultima 2000
USB that's sitting in my drawer at the moment, we're trying to use an
old Artec ViewStation AT12 SCSI scanner. I'm having big problems with
it, though. The host occasionally locks up while trying to access the
scanner, and when it does scan anything, the output appears divided into
thin horizontal bands, each of which is offset relative to the next.
I've tried the scanner on at least two different SCSI cards, both on
the same host adaptor as the disks, and on a different adaptor, both
with and without a tape drive daisychained on. I believe the bus is
correctly terminated, using a pass-through style terminator.
In fact, I found that if I unplug the SCSI bus from the scanner then turn
the scanner on, the scanner light comes on, the carriage moves back and
forth a bit, then the light goes off and comes back on. Then the scanner
light stays on indefinitely. This looks abnormal to me. Do you think
the scanner is broken, or is there something I've missed?
Thanks for any help,
