I have one that came with an HP scanner and have had no luck with it. The drive you want is "Generic NCR53800/53c400". Read /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/README.g_NCR5380 for some info. The card I have has only 1 jumper with no marking, but doen't show up in a pnpdump. I found an FAQ from HP that said the card automatically gets an address and gives a list of possible addresses. None of these work. The machine locks up with a message about bus timeout. Even stranger is the way it does the same thing if the card is not installed. I was hoping to hook the scanner up to this to share across the network with SANE, but a SCSI card would cost more than the machine is worth. -- Shawn D'Alimonte [EMAIL PROTECTED]
