Greetings, I am having trouble getting my new UMAX Astra 1220S scanner recognized. It is at ID 6, with a zip drive at ID 5, on a StarMax 3000/160 (pmac 4400 clone). MacOS recognizes it and scans from it just fine- well, if you ignore the frequent crashes and required Adobe Deluxe shipped with the scanner but which needs a nonexistent serial number... which is why I'd like to do this in free software!
So, I rebuilt the kernel with SCSI generic support, so I was able to `MAKEDEV sg' but it made /dev/sg0 through 16, not sga, sgb, etc. /proc/scsi/scsi is not showing the scanner, just the zip drive. Here's what is reported during the scsi init at boot time (from dmesg): scsi0 : MESH scsi : 1 host. Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: D.13 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 mesh: target 6 aborted scsi : detected 1 SCSI disk total. SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1 GB] sda: Write Protect is off And there are no more related messages. Can Linux not detect a scanner on PPC, or perhaps, is there a problem with generic SCSI on MESH? Also, /usr/doc/sane/tools/find-scanner is missing! scanimage -L is there, but gives no reply, meaning no scanner is detected. Does anyone have a scanner working on MESH?
