I'll just hold it on account -- I will doubtless have some GBP15 questions of my own in the future [1]. Really, I'm glad to be of help, I've had enough help from this list in the past. > It works all perfectly, even better than what you describe: I can scan > multiple images (well, I've scanned 3 now, but I assume it will work > indefinately).

Both SANE and the kernel have had updates since I last had a go at the scanner -- I don't know if it is a SANE backend problem or a SCSI card driver problem. I build new kernels and SANE versions every so often and it has gone from no response (2.0.34+SANE0.78) to total lockup (2.2.1 with SANE0.78) to almost works (2.2.1+SANE1.00+interim artec backend), so I have great hopes that it will work properly next time I try! All the best Hugh [1] Like, why do the PCMCIA cards (modem and network card) on my laptop detect perfectly on boot, but are detected as "anonymous memory" if you plug them in after booting? I thought the whole point was that they could be hot swapped. Not a high-priority worry as I have exactly 2 slots and exactly 2 cards, but I'm curious. I just installed the pcmcia-core and pcmcia modules packages and did no tweaking so I probably just havn't RTFM enough yet. ========================================================================== Hugh C.
