<P><EM>I </EM>assume<EM> that the above has been posted in response to my

Installation of "Sane-pie backend" to drive Black Widow (Devcom) 9636 PRO SCSI
scanner </A><A name=19278> </A> </P>
<P>If this is a program that has scanned my computer in search of a SCSI scanner
it has in fact scanned the wrong computer, the reason being as follows:</P>
<P>I subscribed to Sane-devel from my new Dell (Vista) computer from which
I posted to the Sane devel mailing list. My post relates to the possible
installation of "Sane-Pie backend on my old Gateway (PCPro) computer in which
the Devcom 9636 Pro SCSI card is fitted and to which the 9636 Pro scanner is
attached. I may need to install and run the Formulardaten program on my Gateway
computer which has a dial-up internet connection. Is that possible?</P>
<P>Since there is no scanner (or SCSI card) attached to my Dell computer, from
which my post was made, it is not surprising that Formulardaten found that no
SCSI scanner was installed.</P>
<P>On my Gateway computer Device Manager lists "DEVCOM 9636PRO SCSI Scanner
Device" under "other devices" with a yellow question mark in front of these
items. I cannot be sure what drivers (if any) are presently loaded for my SCSI
adapter (the windows 98 drivers did not load in XPPro) but it would appear that
the computer is unable to establish any communication with the scanner. When I
click on the acquire button I get the error message "Scanner not ready. There
does not seem to be a scanner installed" The scanner had been working perfectly
on this computer under Windows 98.</P>
<P>On the Sane web site </FONT><A
href="http://www.munton.demon.co.uk/sane/"><FONT
size=2>http://www.munton.demon.co.uk/sane/</FONT></A><FONT size=2> the Sane-pie
backend driver is listed as having been tested and works OK on the BLACK WIDOW
(DEVCOM) 9636 PRO scanner. I would like to give it a try but as already
mentioned I would require some guidance with the installation of that
driver on my computer. Any such guidance,suggestions or help would be
appreciated. </P>
<P>Do I still need to get and run the Formulardaten program on my Gateway
computer?</P>
<P>Thank you</P>
