Hi all, Well, today I bit the bullet and went out and bought a new Adaptec 2906 card. Linux seems to recognize the card. I/O port information: I/O-Range Used by de00-debe aic7xxx Bus 0 device 9 function 0 SCSI storage controller Adaptec AIC 7850 (rev3). Medium devsel. Fast back to back capable. IRQ 11 Master capable. Latency=64, MinGut(?)=4. Max lat=4 IO at 0xde00 [0xde01] Device information says: SCSI Attached Devices: Host: SCSI0 channel : 00 ID : 04 Lun : 00 Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 1220s Rev: V1.3 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision : 02 I can't get xscanimage to work, either at the commandline or by icon. scanimage -d gives me: scanimage: no SANE devices found . How do I get sane to recognize the scanner? Bob Eaton
