[sane-devel] UMAX and netbsd/macppc woes persist

[paul beard]

Abel Deuring and I have made some progress on this problem (he's 
doing the lion's share of the work): there seems to be some 
communication problem between the kernel's scsi interface and 
SANE. The kernel and some scsi probing tools see the scanner while 
SANE 1.0.7 cannot. Abel sent me some debug code that allows 
sane-find-scanner to return the correct information about the 
scanner, but only with the "-v" argument. Without it, there's no 
difference.

results:

sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/uk0... open ok
result of first INQUIRY:
06 08 02 02 9c 00 00 00

sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "UMAX Astra 1200S V2.7" at 
device /dev/uk0

without "-v" we just get this:

result of first INQUIRY:

result of second INQUIRY:
06 08 02 02 00
sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner "  " at device /dev/uk0
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of sanei_scsi to 255.

We'll get there yet . . .
