Hi Olaf, dear listmembers, what regards your suggestion with the syntax: fine with me. So to say (for my 6300C)
vendorID=HP productID=C7670A so we wouldn't have even one new name but would have a different meaning between SCSI and USB devices. so, maybe even drop the ":scsi" identifier but write that behind the :interface specification? :interface "SCSI" "HP" "C7670A" "processor" We'd have no different entry in this case - but what I do not know if there is anything around depending on the fact that there is nothing behind the string "SCSI". Your suggestion would be: 1 new keyword ":scsi" and write :scsi "HP" "C7670A" "processor" if I caught up with you. That'll be fine. Even more: it should be simple to use the very same scan mechanism as is used for USB devices, the only exchange is ":usbid" vs. ":scsi" in the search. I'm going to look into that. Take care Dieter -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <??__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) -----------------------------------------------------------
