Hello, I borrowed a Microtek E3 scanner from a friend. I set it up in Windows 95 first, and it works well there. Now I am trying to use it in Linux and am having some difficulty.
It came with a Adaptec AVA1502AE ISA to SCSI Host Adapter with external SCSI connector. I compiled in support for generic scsi in the kernel. I downloaded the sane package from stable. When I try to use scanimage or xscanimage, I get the following error: scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument I've been reading the docs, but I'm still not sure what the problem is. I noticed some drivers for adaptec's AHA cards, but none for the AVA card. Am I screwed because there is no driver th my particular card? The docs keep talking about /dev/sga, which I don't have and which MAKEDEV didn't make. I have only sg0 - sg9. I made a link between /dev/sg0 and /dev/scanner, but no joy. I would appreciate a kick in the right direction. Thanks. -- Jim Foltz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ACORN techie <http://www.acorn.net> AOL/IM Jim Foltz
