[sane-devel] TRUST Imagery 2400SP now supported by sane 1.0.8+patches

[Eelco]

Hi!

Finally after not being able to use my scanner for over a year, SANE now
supports it! I scanned my very first pictures with it in b&w and
color! Everything seems to be going fine.

For people interested in this, here is how I did it:
first I loaded the module necessary to detect my SCSI card. It is the
card which was delivered standard with the scanner, with chipset:
dtct-436. So I can use it after typing as root:

modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1

If this doesn't work for you, you have a different scsi card and maybe
this site can help you to detect yours:

In short this means that my scsi card is Mustek technology, but the
scanner technology is not, for that matter. After downloading the latest
sane-backend sources, which included support for the teco3 by Frank Zago
my scanner was detected (sane-backends >= 1.0.8 + patches). Here my
output:

[eelco at eelco eelco]$ scanimage -L
device `teco3:/dev/sg2' is a Relisys Scorpio flatbed scanner

So the TRUST Imagery 2400SP looks like a nice mixture of several
different products to me.

I would hereby like to thank the SANE developers in general and Frank
Zago in particular for their fine work on developing scannerdrivers:
thanks to your driver my Linux Box now supports more of my hardware than
windows does! (Trust stopped updating the driver since windows 98)

Keep up the good work!

Regards,

Eelco
